Belgarath the Sorcerer

Wish Belgarath was my granddad. He's so likeable. Tricksy and cunning, and always up to some kind of wonderful mischief. And reading Belgarath the Sorcerer, the story of his back-life before his adventures in the Belgariad and beyond, you discover how he grew up to be the way he is - a reluctant student at the feet of gods who eventually becomes a wily old master. Top class fantasy.
