Piers Anthony
From Wikinfo
Piers Anthony Dillingham Jacob (born August 6, 1934) is a writer in the science fiction and fantasy genres, publishing under the name Piers Anthony. He has written many novels and short stories, but he is most famous for his book series, and particularly for the long-running series set in the fictional realm of Xanth.
His work has often been criticised for overuse of puns, and for overtones of pedophilia - the book most often cited as an exemplar of this is Firefly, in which a sexual relationship between an adult man and a five-year-old girl is portrayed positively (and explicitly).
