Actually, it's a troll, and Ed finds Christian, not vice versa. But I agree, this is one of my all time favorite books, which is saying a lot since I read about five books a week. It is totally an original story that nobody should miss!

Excellent ending, too. I have yet to read the sequel, creatively named "Twice Upon a Marigold."
