Death by own action Mountains a quirky tale by John Gardner

In this offbeat fairy tale a dwarf named Chudu and Armida seek to end their lives in the Death by own action Mountains. They join Christopher the Sullen, a knight and crown prince, on a quest that turns into wild adventures as they encounter monsters and learn what they truly want. Gardner crafts a topsy turvy world where knights prefer poetry to slaying dragons and outcomes defy expectations.
