Montana author Christopher Paolini experienced a sudden rise to fame due to his Inheritance Trilogy, which begins with Eragon and continues with Eldest. Full-color photos, a glossary of key terms, and an index enhance this biography, which introduces Paolini's childhood, family life, experience with homeschooling, and the influence of other fantasy authors, as well as the discovery and success that led to a movie version of Eragon and his plans for the future.
