You may have read as well (and I truly hope you did) his past adventures as he wedged his way through the Outmoded Landscape, the Room of the Lost Footsteps, and more recently the Incurable Jumblelium, and so in the hopes to get back to his family . . . These adventures, however, were written by the hand of writer of the novels. Which tells me that you have probably not read Nick Klaus's own writings. And how could you since I just came across them myself? . . . Do you know the places he visited during his trips? Whom he encountered with? And most of all, what were his reflections about having to go through so many incomplete landscapes or to meet so many strange characters? Well . . . here is your chance to catch up. In this volume, you have the opportunity to discover, experience, and learn how Nick Klaus felt during his long journey back home . . . Let me rephrase this as I may have to get back to you on this point. I'm not certain at all he has yet succeeded. Still, he wrote these fables himself for you (that's what he told me), so that you will not have to learn the painstaking lessons that he had to learn all on his own. This collection of timeless fables will teach you just as much about the world you live in as the strange worlds he explored. Views: 745
