Welcome to:
Compewter's world of
Xanth is a world very much like the mundane state of Florida but it differs in several ways and one of the major aspects is the existence of magic. The World of Xanth contains quite a bit of magic and everyone born on Xanth has a magic talent that is unique and all their own. Some people are born with regular run of the mill magic while others are born with very strong magical talents. Those with the strongest talents are called magicians and only a magician can rule as King of Xanth. The world of Xanth is populated by all manner of creatures likes Ogres, Harpies, Goblins and Dragons and Centaurs and while some of the creatures are friendly, some are not. Should any of you mundanes wish to visit Xanth, please try to find a habitant of Xanth as soon as possible upon entering Xanth since seemingly innocent things are not as innocent as they first appear.
The world of Xanth is truly something to behold and everyone who lives in Xanth considers themselves lucky not having to live in the world of mundania since mundania is just that : mundane. Xanth used to be a secret world but the Muses of Parnassus have gotten a bit sloppy recently and have allowed some of the history of Xanth to escape and reach Mundania. Currently, Mundanes have access to 19 books about the World of Xanth which describe the good people of Xanth and their many wonderful adventures. Mundanes should read these books as they provide a source of great reading and imagination as well as tips to all traveler wishing to visit Xanth.
Enjoy your stay while in Xanth and Harpy Reading! :)

Greetings everyone. It took me a while to find this in my archives but here is the original announcement from the Xanth Thread from when I first joined it. I really wanted to be Grey Murphy at the time when I joined but he was already taken so since I have a technical background, I decided to choose Compewter instead since this is closer to my personality than any other characters in the world of Xanth and I am not the most original person when it comes to ideas so I did not wish to try to create a new character from scratch. I simply lack the imagination to do so. Well, here it is...........

I
first got introduced to Xanth by accident (or knowing how things really work in Mundania, maybe not). My cousin
from New York was visiting for about a week and since he enjoys reading
as much as I do, he often buys a paperback book to read on board the
airplane. He was staying in our home for about a week and as he
was going home, he forgot about the book that he was reading at the
time (Man from Mundania). I saw the cover and I thought it might
be interesting so I decided to read it first and then I would send it
back to him in the mail.
Well, you can guess how things turned out. I absolutely fell in love with the book and Mr. Anthony's writing style. When I noticed that this was a series, I just had to have every book written about Xanth. I went to a local used book store since it seems that some of the books were out of print at the time and I managed to get the entire series up until then. I currently own all of the first 18 books and at this writing, book 19 has just come out so I will be obtaining it as soon as I find it on the shelf.
In addition to all the books, I also have the Xanth Computer game on CDROM with all the voices. Those of you who might need some help with the game, feel free to write as I have solved the game. I can either give hints or if you are really stuck, I have a walk through that I could send you as an email attachment.
I have
also read his entire Adept series and well as his mode series, plus I
have read some of the one time books like Through the Ice, Firefly,
Kill-O-Byte and Shade of the Tree, the Caterpillar question and several
others books that Piers has collaborated with other writers.
Piers
Anthony is by far my favorite writer and I always look forward to just
about anything that he writes. Feel free to email me about anything
with regards to Xanth or Mr. Anthony's writing style.

Hi Piers (Piers Anthony's official web site)
Magician's Humphrey's Xanth Ring
The Piers Anthony Thread (PATH)
The following list
of books
are the books that have been written by the Muses of Parnassus and
somehow have been smuggled into Mundania without their knowledge. Rumor
has it that some
mundane hack writer
by the name of Piers Anthony claims to have written these novels but
those
of us true Xanthians know better than to believe a mundane could ever
write such a wonderful series of stories. With that aside, here is the
list of the
Xanth
novels as they have been written by the Muses in their current order.
1) A spell for ChameleonIn addition to the Xanth books, there has been a Visual Guide to Xanth as well as 2 game books that were put together by Piers Anthony and Jody Lynn Nymph......umm.....Nye.
