The Summer Tree, Fionavar Tapestry Book One: classic fantasy

I read the first two (I think – maybe it was just the first) quite some time ago but never was able to finish because I couldn’t find the remaining book(s) anywhere. I was a little put off by some of the tired tropes he leaned a little too heavily on. If I remember correctly it had a kindly, absent-minded wizard and a humble dwarf companion who was actually an exiled king or something. A lot of it felt like he was committing a D&D campaign to print. However his writing style was so compelling that I wound up seeking out and enjoying most of what he’s written since.
