Legend is one of the greatest fantasy fiction books ever written for the casual reader. If you just wants to site down with a mug of coffee and escape to another world for a bit, this is for you.

The book grabs the slowest of readers from the start and propels them to the last page without taking breath. If you know a child that has no interest in reading, give them Legend and promise them they only have to read the first 10 pages for a £5 reward …….. then charge them £6 for the book if they want to read the rest! Don’t be deceived though. This book is as readable at 40 as it was at 13.

I have read this book three times now. I NEVER read books twice because I am a slow reading half-wit.

This is the book I would have on my deserted island.
