Order of Christopher Stasheff Books
Christopher Stasheff stands as a legendary figure in American fantasy and science fiction literature, earning acclaim for his masterful world-building abilities that have drawn comparisons to J.R.R. Tolkien, particularly through his celebrated Warlock of Gramarye series.
Stasheff's path to authorship was unconventional. During his college years, he initially pursued Radio and TV Programming before shifting his focus to theater studies, excelling in both disciplines. His literary career began when a writing competition for unpublished fantasy and science fiction writers captured his attention. Though he couldn't complete his manuscript by the contest deadline, Stasheff persevered, finishing the work and submitting it directly to a publisher without solicitation. This bold move launched his career when that manuscript became The Warlock in Spite of Himself, launching the renowned Warlock of Gramarye series.
Published in 1969, The Warlock in Spite of Himself marked Stasheff's debut and established his lasting influence in the genre. The novel's enduring relevance sets it apart from many works of its era, pioneering the innovative blend of technology and magic that would become a hallmark of his writing. The story follows Rod, a protagonist from a futuristic democratic confederation of planets who travels to the primitive world of Gramarye. There, magical creatures mistake his advanced technology for sorcery, thrusting him into a complex political conflict involving the Queen, Noble Lords, and common folk.
Among Stasheff's other notable works is Her Majesty's Wizard, which opens his A Wizard in Rhyme series. This tale follows a young man who discovers an ancient parchment and finds himself transported to an enchanted realm where spoken verses wield magical power, only to become imprisoned alongside a princess in a dungeon.
