Synopsis

This book tells a powerful and evocative story about the true nature of loss and love. Set in an ancient and beautiful world where children exist only in the hearts and minds of those who yearn for them, it follows the journey of a man who finds himself lost in a realm of shadows and mysteries. As he navigates this enigmatic landscape, he encounters a series of enigmatic figures, each of whom has their own unique relationship with the elusive children. Through these interactions, the man begins to understand the profound and unbreakable bond between those who love and those who are loved, even in the face of adversity. The author explores the themes of grief, longing, and the enduring power of hope, crafting a haunting and deeply moving story that lingers long after the final page is turned.

About this title

About the Author

Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865. In 1871 he was brought home from India and spent five unhappy years with a foster family in Southsea, an experience he later drew on in The Light That Failed (1890). In 1882 Kipling started work as a journalist in India, and while there produced a body of work, stories, sketches and poems - notably Plain Tales from the Hills (1888) - which made him an instant literary celebrity when he returned to England in 1889. His most famous works include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901) and the Just So Stories (1902). Kipling refused to accept the role of Poet Laureate and other civil honours, but he was the first English writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize, in 1907. He died in 1936.
