Summary
This delightfully humorous fantasy from the legendary 1950s Fantastic Stories pulp magazine begins with an ordinary Chicago librarian courting his beautiful (but insipid) fiancée. Shortly afterwards, she and her family are zapped into a parallel world by two real estate gangsters. Albert turns the table on the gangsters, but then finds that his own time has become warped. He meets two creatures from an alternate world and in short order crosses with them over into a horizon-less, magical realm.
When he enters the forest of Drendon, and his girlfriend turns into a woodnymph, and her brother becomes a fawn, and the dreadful parrot-beaked, cannibalistic Kwistian birds come to feast, he doesn't waste precious time asking what's going on? It's Magic, You Dope!
Our intrepid hero finds himself menaced by hotsies, Kwistians, sarks, and wumbles. Help arrives from Maggot the witch, but Maggot is a busy witch and doesn't have time to explain how to use the bag of spells she gave him, so he must figure them out by himself….

You can tell its an old story, quaint and action
The story is short, I do like to use my audible credits on books over 7hrs.
The write up intrigued me and it was a very intriguing book nicely read, although a couple of editing slip ups were made.
It was very interesting to listen to as the stories from the 1950s were often about your morals as this one was and it, although there were monsters and fights, all was done in a very nice way.
So different from today's writers.
It was nice to be able to listen to an old story.

Not bad
OK book, I would not call it a magic listen, it's not bad storyline and is read well just a little boring to be frankly honest
