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 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.
