Tales of Baron Rostov

as told by Roger Bourke White Jr.

Baron Rostov is the ruler of a remote valley in the Balkans in the 17-1800's. These stories range from his coming of age to his retirement. In them he mixes old family magic, new technology and lots of clever thinking.

• Rostov Rising -- "In which I learn my Rostov heritage, and become Baron Iglacias Rostov."
• The Allure of Allura Vinzeta -- in which Amoletta, a brainy beauty of the Baron's realm, learns the dark secrets of Grande Dame Allura Vinzeta of Venice (... and Roger tells his first Romance story)
• The Baron and the Genie -- in which Baron Rostov meets Aladdin and the Genie
• The Lich -- Baron Rostov must deal with an unbeatable member of the Kalchinov family
• The Shaman -- things are often not what they seem to be
• Three Ladies and a Dragon -- Baron Rostov faces off against a dragon so old and powerful, she is part of "Long ago, when the Earth was young"-stories
• The Investment -- the last of the Baron Rostov tales, here he retires
