Dark Lord of Derkholm
The Dark Lord of Derkholm, simply ''Dark Lord of Derkholm'' in the United States, is a fantasy novel by the British author Diana Wynne Jones, published autumn 1998 in both the U.K. and the U.S.〔 It won the 1999 Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children's Literature.〔
The novel is a parody, for its setting is a mock high fantasy world, similar to that Jones covered in ''The Tough Guide to Fantasyland'' (U.K., 1996), a humorous travel guide on the ''Rough Guide'' model. The story continues in ''Year of the Griffin'' and the two novels have been called the Derkholm series (which ISFDB does not explicitly link to ''The Tough Guide'').〔
== Plot introduction ==
A fantasy world is dominated by its destructive tourist industry. "Mr. Chesney's Pilgrim Parties" arrange for annual group tours, evidently from our world, to experience all the cliches: wise Wizard Guides, attacks from Leathery-Winged Avians, the Glamorous Enchantress, the evil Dark Lord. It is a devastating show: farmlands are laid waste, people slain, and so on.
The head of Wizards University, Querida, determines a way to end the tours. The apparently incompetent wizard Derk will be the next Dark Lord, and son Blade the Wizard Guide for the final tour. Querida overcomes objections all around and the plan is underway.
