The Disappearing Dwarf

The Disappearing Dwarf (1983) is a fantasy novel by American writer James Blaylock, his second published book and the second of the trilogy that started with The Elfin Ship. The characters are mostly drawn from the first book, while the plot revolves around another encounter with the villain Selznak. As before, the world has magic as well as pseudo-science, and scientific explanation depends on tongue-in-cheek scientific concepts.
