Oh my god. I’ve never heard another human being reference this series or be aware of this series.
My mum read them when she was a girl and passes them down to me when I was a kid. For my 30th birthday, she hunted down the whole collection for me and now it’s one of my most prized possessions.
I’ve only read a couple of them. But one story has stuck with me for nearly 40 years. It was about the kid who had no visible magical abilities, only it turned out he had a super rare power where you couldn’t hurt him with magic.
I really liked this book, and I don’t even remember what it’s called.
Sometimes hearing other peoples opinions can spoil something for you. I’m kind of glad I’ve never found any online communities based around Xanth now, because that’s never even crossed my mind, and I’m sure there are many others that would do the same, where it’s just some fun, silly story books from my childhood for now.

I blame my lifelong love of truly awful puns entirely on this series.
I blame my love of high fantasy on the Xanth series. First it was Xanth, then it was Redwall, now it’s my preferred form of escapism.

I remember the character, but I mostly read ones that happened after him (the series spans multiple generations).
I think his name began with a B. I may try to dig through them and find the name of the book.
