To appreciate this collection of gentle, mysterious and sometimes amusing stories, all the author asks is that you stretch your imagination and examine with him some of the "unknown mysteries" of life. The natural world with which we are familiar - the sky, the stars, the sun, the wind - provides the setting for these tales of fantasy and magic. However, though we are entertained by the "Star Guardian" who rides on a shooting star, and intrigued by the "Agent of the Sun" who directs the sun's rays to Earth with her mirror, we become aware of the rather melancholy theme of loss and loneliness. But the author's characters have special and surprising talents; they are determined, resourceful, and adventurous. They all have an ambition to fulfil or a problem to battle with. For instance, meet little Sam Robinson. He builds an amazing machine with sky-blue wings to take him up into the heavens and reach his "much-desired goal" of seeing his dear departed grandma again. These totally intriguing stories are cleverly composed so that the reader is never quite sure what's coming next. Written in an individual and very inventive style, they make for thoroughly enjoyable reading.
