"To Xanth's precocious shape-shifter Prince Dolph, searching for Humphrey, the missing sorcerer, is a perfect chance to see the world. Setting off with his faithful companion Marrow, an enchanted skeleton, he will penetrate an island of illusion... escape a goblin kindom... outwit a husband-hungry mermaid... nest-sit for fiery dragons... and find romance with a slinky snake princess--all on his way to discovering a magic coin with the answers!"
