Pierce Anthony's series of novels about Xanth is one of the most popular series in the history of world fiction. In the world of Xanth, each of its inhabitants is endowed with a magical gift, but not everyone is able to discover this gift in themselves. Well, if you haven’t proven yourself in the magical field before coming of age, you are permanently exiled to Ordinary, something similar to the Land of Fools from the famous fairy tale. It’s damn difficult to get out of there, but Bink, one of those losers who managed to exchange the magical skies of Xanth for the gray skies of Ordinary, will tell you better than anyone else.
