Phineiad: A Brief History of the Future E L Brooks

In an age of comfort, a young boy longs for the trials of Romance and Chivalry. Is he brave, or is he a fool? Will he save his princess, or alienate her from family and teachers? And where will he find a dragon to slay in a world in which most problems have been managed away by technology and government? Join young Phinees on his quest, comic and deadly, as he finds himself in a moral allegory without moralizing, a kingdom where no king is found, and a future that cannot be forecast. Written in lively verse, this mini-epic imagines the fantastic dreams of youth into the realities of a practical world.
