After some thirty-odd years, Gordon R. Dickson’s popular Dragon Knight series is making a comeback on the Italian market – in a big fat volume from Mondadori, Italy’s largest publisher, in the same line of deluxe hardcovers that includes works by Robert E. Howard, Michael Moorcock, Clark Ashton Smith, Karl Edward Wagner, Patricia McKillip, Tanith Lee and Fritz Leiber.
The book is a 1000-pages hardback door-stopper, with the classic Boris Vallejo cover from Ballantine’s first edition of The Dragon and the George. The volume includes the first three novels in the series, and I did the translation of novels #2 – The Dragon Knight – and #3 – The Dragon on the Border.
I was particularly happy to work on this series because The dragon and the george was one of my first fantasy reads*, back when I was in high school, and I loved that book to death. Being involved in the return of the series on our shelves is really a great experience.
