A solid vintage Dragonlance set for readers who want to go back before the Chronicles and spend more time with Sturm, Kitiara, Tasslehoff, Raistlin, and Caramon.
This 3-book TSR paperback set gathers the first three Dragonlance: Preludes novels, all 1989 first printings, with classic Jeff Easley cover art and that unmistakable late-80s fantasy shelf appeal.
Inside, each book follows a different character-centered quest, giving the set a more personal, adventure-driven feel than a single long arc.
