Synopsis: From the back cover of the DAW first edition: ""A few years ago it occurred to me that it might be fun to design an entire solar system full of planets, and set a novel on each planet - and not science fiction novels either, as you might logically expect - but heroic fantasy. Not only would this be fun to do, but, since nobody else has ever done it before, it could be an original and interesting experiment." - Lin Carter The Wizard of Zao is just such a novel. Taking place on a planet revolving around the star Kylix in the Constellation of the Unicorn. it is the wandering green wizard, the most powerful wonder-worker of that amazing sphere, of his newly purchased slave girl who knew nothing of civilized ways, and of the mythical beasts and curious humans they encountered is a constant source of delight. For the wizard did have a purpose to his travels - and thereby hangs the tale!"
