I read both of these stories in different anthologies.

King Kuranes of Celephais sends David Hero and Eldin the Wanderer on two more missions, this time to aprehend a wine seller guilty of the strange behavior of those who drink his wares, which they accomplish but not before sampling the product themselves as you'd expect and running afoul of its effects, and to kill a vampire responsible for the death of an increasing amount of people. I liked this one better than the previous volume. It's shorter but the stories are more interesting.

two great short stories of Hero and Eldon's adventures in Dreamlands. The were published in other works, but this (Book 5 in the set) beautiful leather bound edition was a joy to read
