A magical tale told majestically by a consummate teller of tales. The sort of story that enriches the reader and enables them to reconnect with their imagination. Highly recommended.

I'm a nerd. An old nerd, as it happens. So when I first started reading this book my immediate thought was, "Wow, what a great interactive fiction game this would make!" If you don't mind, I'll calibrate the Wayback Machine to the era of interacti...

“A journey, I reflected, is of no merit unless it has tested you.”

“Settling into a new country is like getting used to a new pair of shoes. At first they pinch a little, but you like the way they look, so you carry on. The longer you have them, the more comfortable they become. Until one day without realizing it you reach a glorious plateau. Wearing those shoes is like wearing no shoes at all. The more scuffed they get, the more you love them and the more you can't imagine life without them.”

“My father used to say that stories are part of the most precious heritage of mankind.”
