Belgarath the Sorcerer
Page 83
‘Packing? Where are we going?’
‘To Aunt Pol’s cottage, of course.’
‘That went by me a little fast, Ce’Nedra. This isn’t that urgent, is it? Do we really have to dash off to the north end of the Vale in the dead of winter?’
‘I want the rest of the story, Garion. I don’t really care about how drunk Belgarath got after he lost his wife. I want to know about Polgara. That’s the part of the story that your disreputable old grandfather left out.’ She slapped her hand rather disdainfully down on Belgarath’s manuscript. ‘This is only half of it. I want Polgara’s half - and I am going to get it, even if I have to drag it out of her.’
‘We’ve got responsibilities here, Ce’Nedra, and Aunt Pol’s busy with her children. She doesn’t have time to write her life story just for your entertainment.’
‘That’s just too bad, isn’t it? Is Greldik still sober?’
‘I doubt it. You know how Greldik is when he makes port. Can’t we talk this over a bit?’
‘No. Go find Greldik and start sobering him up. I’ll go pack. I want to leave on the morning tide.’
Garion sighed. ‘Yes, dear,’ he said.
About the Author
David Eddings was born in Washington State and grew up near Seattle. He graduated from the University of Washington and went on to serve in the US Army. Subsequently he worked as a buyer for the Boeing Company and taught college-level English. High Hunt, his first novel, was a contemporary adventure story, but he soon began a spectacular career as a fantasy writer with his bestselling series The Belgariad. He consolidated his immediate success with three further enormously popular series, The Malloreon, The Elenium and The Tamuli. Writing with his wife Leigh, three final volumes rounded off the Belgariad: Belgarath the Sorcerer, Polgara the Sorceress and The Rivan Codex. These were followed by the epic standalone fantasy The Redemption of Althalus, and his latest series of books, The Dreamers.
