The Wizard Punchkin
Hardcover
(Blackie Children's Books March 15, 1994)
, New Ed edition
Beautifully, exotically, and elaborately illustrated children's book. The author tells us: "The story of 'Punchkin' was first collected in India by Mary Frere, whose ayah (Indian nanny) told it to her in 1866. The idea that the soul can be placed outside the body and kept hidden is, however, common to many different cultures, and versions of this story can be found throughout the world. While his soul is absent a person cannot die, but once its hiding place is discovered, then like Punchkin, he can be destroyed." Retold and illustrated by Joanna Troughton.
