The Road to Rangoon: Volume 1 (Smiggins Orserump: Tales in Heroic Fashion) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

He was too short to be a Hero. A compact five-foot, six-inches tall and built overly stocky. Like any true Non-Hero, he had the rounded gut of either a man who loved his drink in excess or his food in excess. In fact, he was a champion among Non-Heroes, for he tended to go with both. In true Non-Hero fashion, his unkempt beard and hair had the look of wild undergrowth mixed with birds' nests, and the occasional brush pile. And, unlike the stiff, prideful gait of a Hero, his stumbling, flagging shuffle spoke of a man in poor shape, too long on the road, tired, and more than a little unwillingness of movement. As he trudged through the mud, he looked less and less like a Hero. ----------- Smiggins Orserump: Tales in Heroic Fashion follows the exploits of the detestably likable character, Smiggins Orserump. Smiggins, a con-artist extraordinaire who prides himself in being the "non-hero" type, will keep you laughing as he stumbles from one encounter to the next. In The Road to Rangoon Smiggins and his new and unlikely traveling companion tangle with a raging river, meet a colorful gypsy and face a master villain all while searching for a treasure that may not be what it appears to be.** contains the words "bloody 'ell" and "arse" **
