A book about a little boy with a huge imagination. The marvel and
enchantment of this story is its revelation of the mind as it belongs
only to the world of children. Existing without the prejudices of their
parents and without the firm belief that the world must be a certain
way, children live in a fluid zone between reality and imagination,
where everything is possible.
