The Lost Histories series probes the historical roots and epic struggles of the heretofore little-known peoples of Krynn. Who is the mighty hero? None other than Bron, son of the leader of the gully... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The Dragonlance series creates a world in which you can get quite lost, easily. The Gully Dwarves explores the world of the "lowest" creatures in the world of Krynn. Often funny, always simple and possessing strengths which few in this world are aware, the Gully Dwarves is an excellent book whether you are already familiar with the series or are just being introduced to it. It is a world of fantasy, magic, gods who walk the land and a diverse range of sentient beings. The Gully Dwarves is a book I have personally read many times over and over again and it makes me laugh everytime. While the entire Dragonlance series is something to be easily appreciated, this book remains one of my favorites.
Funny & Intelligent!

I was very wary of this book after I bought it. After I quit reading Tales Of Uncle Trapspringer after about 50 pages or so{which is the only DL book I've EVER quit reading} & hating every short story about gnomes, I wasn't sure I wanted to dive into another book solely based on Krynn's smaller races.But then the author's name caught my eye.I remembered absolutely loving Dan's short stories about the Bulp Clan. I dove in.I laughed for about the first 50-70 pages. Almost constantly. After that, the book turned a bit more serious & just as good.Read this one. You won't regret it.
All the action in half the size and double the laughs.

Before reading this book I thought that gully dwarves were brainless twits. Now I realize they are just aimless twits. The haphazard use of a magical item by such unknowing creatures was hilarious. The battle scenes and the ever present "damsel in distress" made for a great mix as well. Over all, an excellent read if you like a good chuckle in the realm of Dragonlance. Who says swords and sorcery can't be funny?
Woohoo!

This book was just great. Funny as heck, but there was some good action tied in. This book would have gotten five stars from me, but I thought that Dartimien was written too much like Raistlin.
Comic relief book excellent!

The Gully Dwarves is a good book. Everything is nicely developed, but Mr. Parkinson could have done more. The climax was a bit weak. However, if you've gone into depression from reading some of the more dismal books, pick up the Gully Dwarves and get ready to have a lot of laughter.
