I tried to read it 40 years ago but set it down at the "now we all
choose character classes" scene, so I couldn't say.

One of my favourites, to the extent that I think I remember when and where I bought it. I was only vaguely aware of D&D so I enjoyed it in innocence of any connection to that. I was not long out of university and working in London while my parents were still living in Northern Ireland. I remember mentioning when I bought it without inspecting it very thoroughly that I wanted a thick book for the voyage home - train to Stranraer and then boat to Larne, where my parents would pick me up. I loved the story and the world-building and the magic scheme - possibly my first exposure to a good example of these in fantasy since LOTR.
