With Father’s Day coming up (June 15), The Little Witcher could make for a great gift for fans who read bedtime stories to their kids each night. That’s exactly the idea behind the book, as it contains bite-sized stories that trade the franchise’s mature dark fantasy themes for a lighthearted tone. The Little Witcher is about relationship between an adoptive father and his daughter. As Ciri is learning what it means to follow the Witcher Code, Geralt is learning how to be a dad.
You can check out a few sample pages from The Little Witcher below. Though there are monsters in The Little Witcher, the art style makes them look cute instead of scary, and tales of battle include humorous details like “monsters who fart when surprised.”
