He's two centimeters tall. He's fiery red. He has magical powers strong enough to wreck a normal human's life. All with the best intentions, of course. George Bitternut, an eccentric linguist and deadbeat, stumbles onto an ancient incantation that calls forth this diminutive demon of astonishing wizardry. Unfortunately, Azazel refuses to do anything for George's personal gain - but he agrees to help out a few friends. With Dr Asimov himself as eager audience, George recounts eighteen episodes of life with Azazel - disastrous, hilarious episodes that could only spring from science fiction's most fertile imagination:- Review(s): "Asimov proves himself a master of light fantasy" - Denver Post / "The high jinks are abundant. In these eighteen fantastical stories by one of the kings of science fiction" - Baltimore Sun / "Readers will readily imagine Asimov's voice over coffee and brandy as he describes in droll terms George Bitternut's dealings with his diminutive but powerful ally Azazel. These eighteen tales (including one written specially for this collection) go down smoothly" - Publishers Weekly:- (original cost $3.95).
