The official guide to the unrealised films of Ray Harryhausen.
Asgarnia’s fate hangs in the balance. Disparate tribes unite under the banner of Lord Raddallin, and his enemies look on in fear and hatred. Raddallin’s advisors – an uneasy alliance of Black and White knights – whisper of a discovery in the North that will give them the power to change everything.
Caught in the midst of history, a lowly scribe and the son of a Jarl hold the fate of Raddallin’s new kingdom in their hands.
From the glorious inauguration of King Raddallin’s reign to the expulsion of the Zamorakians from Asgarnia, The Gift of Guthix tells an epic tale of the origin of magic, the plight of civil war, and the crushing defeat of the Fremennik Great Invasion. Amongst plots and betrayals, a penitent turncoat waits for her moment to leap into the unknown.
“What do the films Harryhausen didn’t make say about the creator? If you’re a fan of Harryhausen and the history of stop-motion animation, this should be the next book on your shelf” - Borg.com
“For fans of Harryhausen’s work, this is a must have book. For the curious, the hardcover collection is an easy read and a delight to have in front of you” - Fangirl Nation
“a loving, beautifully illustrated examination of the stop-motion legend’s unrealized projects” - The Film Stage
