THE SECRET OF SPRING
by Piers Anthony & Jo Anne Taeusch
Anthony's latest collaboration (after Dream a Little Dream, 1999, with Julie Brady, etc.) with one of his more persistent admirers features the standard combination of cute witches, evil wizards, lovable quasihumans, and jocularly lascivious romancing (puns and lovers) in a reasonably inventive, Anthonyfantasy setting where hero Herb, heroine Spring, and villain Zygote have lots of neat stuff to do.
