Synopsis

"THIS BOOK IS NOT A REAL ENCYCLOPEDIA! It is an epic work of fiction, detailing the many tales and adventures of one lonely storyteller on a quest for Enlightenment and True Love. This book contains many stories, big and small, about and pertaining to the following things: gods, monsters, mad kings, wise old crones, shamanes, medicine men, brothers and sisters, strife, mystery, bad science, worse geography, and, did we already mention, True Love?"--Cover p. [4].
