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... -A book that appeals to all ages:
Children from 6 to 10 years old love to have it read to them, enjoying the lilting poetry of the language. Even teenagers are enchanted by its magic and the secret teachings about life, and adults never tire of reading it aloud.
Says one reviewer:
"There are passages resembling elements from C.S Lewis chronicles, and Tolkien and Tolstoy epic masterpieces. It is a creation that becomes part of your life, which you want to hear more of, but do not want to end. A fantasy book for all ages, with many pointers for our daily perception on life. I would recommend it to children and adults alike.” —Bobby Black (age 56)
