The Author

Robert Lynn Asprin (June 28, 1946 – May 22, 2008) was an American science fiction and fantasy author and active fan, best known for his humorous MythAdventures and Phule’s Company series.

Robert Asprin was born in St. Johns, Michigan, and attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Michigan from 1964 through 1965. From 1965 through 1966 he served in the United States Army. He was married (twice) and had two children. He was active in science fiction fandom and in the early years of the Society for Creative Anachronism under the name “Yang the Nauseating”, and co-founded the Great Dark Horde in 1971. He was also the founder and an influential member of the Dorsai Irregulars. In 1976, he was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation for The Capture, a cartoon slide show written by Asprin and drawn by Phil Foglio.

The Books

MythAdventures or Myth Adventures is a fantasy series created by Robert Lynn Asprin. After twelve novels by Asprin, published 1978 to 2002, he and Jody Lynn Nye continued the series with seven more books. After his death in May 2008, she intended to complete their plans.

The Myth Adventures are noted for and popular for their whimsical nature, myriad characters, and liberal use of puns. After the first book, every title turns on the similarity between the word “myth” and the prefix “mis-” or the word “miss”. The inaugural title Another Fine Myth puns on the phrase “another fine mess”. Chapters are usually headed by made-up quotes by famous or semi-famous persons.

Indeed, the first book was advertised under that title, Another Fine Mess, from Oliver Hardy’s often-used catchphrase directed towards his film comedy partner Stan Laurel, supposedly “This is another fine mess you’ve gotten me into.” (The actual catchphrase referred to “another nice mess”.) After it was too late to change the catalog, Asprin decided that using “Myth” would be much better if the book would become a series. They changed the title and claimed a typo in the catalog.

According to Asprin, the original inspiration for the Myth Adventures was the “Road to…” comedy movie series, which stars Bing Crosby and Bob Hope as wandering con-artists/adventurers.

Skeeve was a magician’s apprentice–until an assassin struck and his master was killed. Now, with a purple-tongued demon named Aahz as a companion, he’s on a quest to get even.
