About This Book

The narrative collects ten short, whimsical episodes centered on a small yellow-clad mysterious figure whose sudden appearances lead the narrator and companions into fantastical mishaps. Adventures include airborne travel by a magic carpet, encounters with a dragon and a roc, comic run-ins with civic authorities, and meetings with eccentric aristocratic and royal figures, while quests and capers touch on a lost diamond, a lame duck, and a mad bull. Each episode mixes light peril and humour, presented in brisk, vividly illustrated scenes that culminate in the little figure's unexplained disappearance.
