The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm is a collection of three novellas written by Christopher Paolini. The first novella, Eragon, is a prequel to the Inheritance Cycle, and follows the young farm boy as he discovers a mysterious stone that turns out to be a dragon egg. The second novella, The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm, is set after the events of Brisingr, and follows Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, as they travel to the elven city of Ellesméra. The third novella, Trespassers in the Night, is a prequel to the events of Eragon, and follows a young farm boy named Roran as he is forced to flee his home and join the Varden in their fight against the Empire.
The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm is a fun and exciting read that fans of the Inheritance Cycle will enjoy. The stories are well-written and provide some interesting insights into the world of Alagaësia. However, some readers may find the novellas to be slow-paced and lacking in action.
