ISS4502 The Complete Griselda 2nd edition (2001)

For years, fans have enjoyed Oliver Dickinson’s stories about the adventurer Griselda, an adventurer in the city of Pavis whose exploits are the subject of wonder, admiration, and fear. Now, all of his published stories, plus several new ones, are collected into a single book. These twenty-eight short stories about life in the Big Rubble are written in a Damon Runyon style with humor, irony, and an intimate knowledge of life in the ancient ruins. Witness the loyalty of Wolfhead the bandit and the cleverness of Hurbie the con man. See Griselda’s decisive action when confronting swords, and her more clumsy ripostes at love. Above all, marvel at her apparent invincibility as she defies death and all challengers in Pavis, deadliest city in the Praxian wastes (from 20 March 2003)
