Our hero Iffleplum is no ordinary ifflepinn. He dreams of dashing deeds
and derring-do and saving damsels in distress. But on finding himself
entrapped in a faery mushroom ring and menaced by the shambling
shadow-creatures known as Gropes, he thinks again-too late! -- "Don't
throw your heart away on wild deeds," his Iffle-mother Mumkin had warned
him. But alas! when his wild wishes suddenly come true, in fearful
shock, the spirit of his heart flies out as he is whisked away on a
terrifying and unexpected trip! Left a wanderer with an empty heart, his
search to find its elfin-spirit once again plunges him into the worlds
of Half-Elves, Wise-Arks, Men and Goblins, Trolls and Ogres, and more
fantastical adventures than he ever dreamed... -- -- Muz Murray, a
world-travelling adventurer, is a practised storyteller, a surrealist
artist and illustrator, having been a Scenic Artist & Costume Designer
and actor in theatre and film, stuntman and singer, zoo-keeper, elephant
trainer, art teacher, deckhand, Night-club singer and many other weird

(being shot at by bandits, surviving knife attacks, hold-ups, poisoned
