Format:Mass Market Paperback
Here is another one of the Xanth series. Once again we have the puns we seek (though some tend to lean torward the smuuty this time). We have Dor and company going into Mundania to hopefully start trade with a kingdom there. This book serves as link between Castle Roogna and Ogre Ogre. Two of the 6 books written extremely well in the series.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
16 year old Prince Dor must fill in as temporary king while King Trent and Queen Iris are away on business in Mundania. Two wweks pass, no Trent. Dor decides he (Trent) must have been captured. He gathers a search party, consisting of an ogre, a golem, a centaur, and Princess Irene, who is way more than willing to be Dor's Queen. The party set's off to the Good Magician Humfrey, to ask how they could rescue Trent. Humfrey tells them to seek the Centaur Aisle. So they set off toward Centaur Isle in the south. Mundania, of course, lay to the north. Ingenious plot, as always. Piers Anthony never fails to bring his immortal characters to life.

Centaur Aisle is probably my least favorite Xanth novel. It takes dor, Irene, Arnold and whole bunch of other people into Mundania to hopefully start trade with a kingdom there. In my opinion this book serves a better purpose, a link between Castle Roogna and Ogre Ogre, two of my three favorite Xanth books.

Centaur Aisle
More pun-ishment! Just revisiting an old friend tbh. Book was brand new and very reasonably priced, postage cost more, and Piers Anthony books are difficult to find in the book... Read more

A great book of magical creatures.
I thought this was a great book. I have also read Castle Roogna and it was pretty good, but Centaur Aisle was much better. Read more

One Great Book
I thought it was a really great book. It took me about a month to read it but it was worth it. I recomend This book to anyone who enjoys fiction-fantasy.

for crying out loud
I would not regard this book as a "bridge"; merely an exaggeration of a man's pathetic willingness to do whatever a beautiful woman wants. Thus it is not sexist. Read more

Entertaining and yet...
This wasn't one of Anthony's better Xanth novels and while I liked the way Irene handled herself I don't particularly like the way Anthony tends to depict women. Read more

Side-splitting humor!
This has to be one of my favorites of the Xanth novels. One time when I was reading of Good Magician Humphrey's wedding, I couldn't stop laughing! Read more

A Great Xanth Novel
I think that this novel was a good one but not my favorite. I love Xanth novels but I don't like it when they go into Mundania. It just gets boring. Read more

This is a very good book.
This book is not one of the best, but it was pretty good. Probably the best part was the literal spelling bee at the begining.
Published on 27 April 1998
This book was excellent!
This book was one of my favorite Xanth books. It had a lot of action and was well written. This is one of my favorite including A spell for Chameleon and Castle Roogna.
