This book is slow-going, especially the novella 'The Baron in the Trees', which I thought was way too long and kind of boring. Each chapter contains a single story about the titular baron, with very little overarching plot, so I never felt like reading more than a couple of chapters in one sitting. However, the other two stories are great, especially 'The Non-Existent Knight', which was very funny and actually had a plot.
