Hilarion is a fun read

To the four men of Linsk, having Hilarion join them from the Old Country may or may not be good news. The men of Linsk were older and wiser and used to the ways of the city but times were hard and they didn't know what to make of this cheerful young giant named Hilarion. Certainly he was lucky - for Hilarion the streets really did seem to be paved with gold. It was Hilarion who rescued the Mayor and foiled the bank robbers. Rewards awaited him, powerful friends had offers of jobs, but there was always something more important that he must do first. Was this the way for a penniless lad to behave? Why wasn't Hilarion more sensible? And yet in the end, everything did go right for Hilarion and the men of Linsk.
