Enter the world of the academic who meets a mythological creature in a rain forest, become a photographer yearning for the joys of eternal love, experience the highs and lows of the humble blacksmithinventing a superb mechanism, but at great personal cost: it's all here waiting for you in this perfectly packaged collection.
