Will the persistent call of reality dull the beauty she has learned to expect when she goes on her adventures, or will the excitement of a dream being realized prevail? Views: 724

These are the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels, also known as the Dooven Books: welcome to the genre of New Fable.The books follow Oscar Teabag-Dooven, a secret agent who believes he's more poet than spy.

Nevertheless, he succeeds with the help of the characters he meets and a courage that arises when he believes it cannot. Views: 722
