Dr Zipes' fiction books are not dull. I have enjoyed them all. Bear's Promise was on my mind whether I was reading it or planning to read it later in the day.. The twists and turns of characters and events were very surprising. It was a compelling tale he told , and I shall be waiting for his next book.
