Publisher's summary

Winner of 2021 Voice Arts Award, Audiobook Narration — Fantasy

"He thinks he's a wizard," they said.

For five grand a month and a million-dollar chaser, Roger Mulligan didn't care how crazy the old geezer was. All he had to do was keep Joseph Perry Shackleford alive and keep him from squandering the estate for a year.

But they didn't tell him about the pixies.

Featured Article: The top 100 fantasy listens of all time


When compiling our list of the best fantasy listening out there, we immediately came up against the age-old question: Is this fantasy or science fiction? The distinction is not as clear as you may think. Dragons, elves, and wizards are definitely fantasy, but what about wizards that also fly space ships? (Looking at you, Star Wars.) For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres.

Great story - perfect narration

The first time I read this book it was with a Kindle. I loved the story. Seeing it available as an audio book, I enjoyed the second time even more. I hope this is the beginning of a series.

Such a gentle story

Another reviewer called this a gentle story and I agree. I am hoping for a sequel. But the narrator! I couldn’t believe it was just one voice artist.

A Feel-Good Story

A feel-good sort of story I will listen to again and again. Ending predictable but feels right.

Absolutely wonderful

I picked this up on a whim. This is not something I would normally listen to and I wasn't sure that I would like it. Not only did I like it I absolutely fell in love with it. I don't want to give too much away but it's a great story about not only the Magical World, but also about people in general. Do yourself a favor and pick this up.

Engrossed the whole time

I could not stop listening. I have a feeling if I listen again I'd hear things I missed the first time. A well crafted story and a good introduction to a new, magical world that I think I am going to enjoy.

A pleasant surprise

I like audible for intelligent companionable company as I do other things.

This book provided a decent plot, characters you can like (or dislike) as appropriate, a magical setting, a little amusing humor, and people making good choices. Plots. Possibilities. Lots of room to dig in for additional stories, which I hope do come along.

I enjoyed it more than many I have in a long time.

Thank you to those involved in writing it and bringing it to life.

Well Told

I couldn’t stop listening. The story is relatively simple with very little in the way of “action,” but the characters are so well drawn (and performed!!!!) and the story so well told, that I was absolutely enchanted by it. Really looking forward to the next book in the series.
Butlers are such interesting characters!
