James Clavell,master story-teller,breaks new ground with the superb 'THRUMP-O-MOTO' a fantasy written to be illustrated.A story for adults and for children,and for adults to read to children,it ranges through continents,countries,time and dreamtime; weaves together hope,power, magic,danger,dreams and nightmares into a classic tale to warm - and chill - the blood.
A 2nd and an unusual item/ephemera in George Sharp's bold style,and will be an important and welcome addition to the artist's canon following on from his first book 'The High Kings' which won a Special
Award at the 1984 World Fantasy Convention.
'THRUMP-O-MOTO' explores a world we
can only find in dreams - a world where fantastic folds in time and space,the fragile stuff of hope,high aspiration, enchantment,danger and courage are the real - the here-and-now.
This is THRUMP-O-MOTO's world; the everyday world of a little wizard and apprentice Hero who,though sometimes puzzled and afraid,always knows that the mightiest forces in the Universe bow before the Brave and the Good.
By chance (and a bungled spell) he sets out on his Noble Quest to rescue Patricia, a child in the evil clutches of Nurk-u the Bad.
His is a realm of wonder,laughter,delight and ever-lurking danger,and where magic spells are a very serious matter indeed.
