Description

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 and wonderful occupations, whilst hitch-hiking halfway round the world (being shot at by bandits, surviving knife attacks, hold-ups, poisoned darts and earthquakes in Africa) crossing deserts, living with Dervishes in Turkey and Iran and Yogis in India, As a mystic, he now teaches in Yoga Centres around the world.
