Centaur Aisle is the fourth book of the Xanth series by Piers
Anthony. Xanth is a magical land where everyone has a magical
talent. Don't you just love this magical path leading into the
Forrest.
Xanth's King Trent has left to establish trade routes with drear
Mundania. Dor agreed to act as King of Xanth so long as Trent was
gone for a week. Dor's magical talent is communication with the
inanimate which for information gathering is very helpful, but not
for dealing with citizens needing discipline. Dor and his friends
(a golem named Grundy, the centaur Chet, Smash the ogre, and Dor's
love interest Irene) must keep the land in line. However, former
King Trent does not return. After three weeks, Dor gathers his gang
and decides to go on a quest to help rescue Trent in non-magic
Mundania. This mission leads them to Centaur Isle, to find an
unknown Centaur Magician. Centaurs are very negative on the concept
of having magical talents, so when they find Arnolde the Centaur
and discover his talent, he is exiled and willing to help them
rescue Trent. Arnolde's talent is a magical aisle, creating a field
of magic around him that allows anyone to use magic in Mundania.
They travel by rainbow north to Mundania. While in Mundania, they
find a scholar named Ichabod. From him, they learn that they are in
the wrong time strand and must go back to Xanth and re-cross the
border. Eventually Dor and his friends find the correct time. After
a nice dinner and a little betrayal, they get captured and locked
in a dungeon. After escaping, they smash down a couple walls to
find Trent.
