review

In the summer of 1976, twelve-year-old Mark Barrowcliffe had a

chance to be normal. He blew it. While other teenagers were being

coolly rebellious, Mark—and twenty million other boys in the 1970s

and ’80s—chose to spend his adolescence pretending to be a warrior,

an evil priest, or a dwarf. He had discovered Dungeons &

Dragons, and his life would never be the same. No longer would he

have to settle for being Mark Barrowcliffe, an ordinary awkward

teenager from working-class Coventry, England; he could be Alf the

Elf, Foghat the Gnome, or Effilc Worrab, an elven warrior with the

head of a mule. This is an hilarious memoir of an adolescence spent

entirely in the world of fantasy.

Mark Barrowcliffe worked as a journalist and a stand-up comedian

before writing his first hit novel, Girlfriend 44. He has written

two other acclaimed comic novels, Lucky Dog and Infidelity for

First-Time Fathers. He now lives in Brighton, England.
