FAQ Rating: *** (8 reviews; 1 *, 3 **, 2 ***, 2 ****)

• A very good supplement on the Legendary Kingdom of Prester John. If the thought of African adventures intrigues you, this is a _must_ buy.
• Daliesque Ars Magica for those who want a note of strangeness in their lives. A bit outlandish for my tastes.
• Moderately interesting, but of little relevance to either Mythic Europe or to the average saga.
• Excellent fantasy stuff. Very mythic.
• Very exotic setting, I'm ready to play with a little more medieval feeling.
• In 1220, medieval thought put Prestor John in India, not Africa. It was hard for me to get over that historical error
