'In the centre of the pine wood called Coilla Doraca there lived not long ago two Philosophers. They were wiser than anything else in the world except the Salmon who lies in the pool of Glyn Cagny into which the nuts of knowledge fall from the hazel bush on its bank.
He, of course, is the most profound of living creatures, but the two Philosophers are next to him in wisdom . . .'
Fantasy, satire and delicious humour propel the magical narrative through a world peopled by policemen, philosophers, tinkers and leprechauns. Yet, the intent of it all is serious. Or is it?
Delve into this mystical fairytale world and rediscover a classic by a great author of the past.
