But hes not the one who climbed a beanstalk or slew seven giants with one blow. This Jack is a storyteller, a seventeen-year-old farm boy who sets off to seek his fortune in the royal city of Sundar.Jack has many adventures and narrow escapes on his journey. He also meets an assortment of memorable charactersincluding a talking bird, a one-eyed robber, a mysterious illusionist, and a melancholy princess. Each has a tale to tell, and these accounts, along with Jacks own stories and the framing narrative, are woven into a complex, dazzling tapestry that will capture the readers imagination. Through them, Edward Myers explores the powerfor good and for evilof the stories we all tell.
