A fairytale : Living and surviving in a deceitful town.
Fable and Odyssey for the 21st century.
In this tale animals play actors in a life- drama. The field is Normsville, a lively market town with meaningful monuments and nightly secrets where our hero, T. O. Bear lives in a comfortable house as a successful business man.
But one thing is wrong . . . His fur. It is partially white, making him look like a Panda and leaving him with a dubious reputation as victim of prejudice and ridicule. He is unaware that his name is TAO.
During three 24-hour journeys his own background and upbringing are revealed, as well as the true history and tarnished legacy of his town. The uploaded Book 1 takes the reader through youth and early romance, and then embarks on a path of growing maturity. All this is reflected against a frame of Emily making tea, reading to her toys and suffering pangs of loneliness.
The journeys lead through a land of allegorical images. Normal human experiences guide the storyline, and while the backdrop of urban life creates a mellow scenery, it is also the place where twisted history, greed and corruption find ample breeding ground.
