Cugel's Saga (1983) by Jack Vance
A very fine novel, of which The Bagful of Dreams is only a small part.
Cugel is a rascal, rogue, scoundrel, cheat, swindler, liar, thief and many other things.
Dropped half a world away by a magician with a grudge, Cugel has many adventures before he returns to wreak vengeance on his tormentor.
Known as Cugel the Clever, he is sometimes that, but often dumber than a rock.
One of the best novels that I have ever read.
The author's use of creative language is unparalleled.
