There is a part of all of us that wants to believe in other existences; that this physical world is not the only reality. In youth, imaginations carried us to made up realms. Great battles were fought. Kingdoms rose and fell. The book you have in your hands and the writers who breathed life into these stories will take you back there. Look out the window, see the breeze toss the branches and leaves about, and wonder if there is an elf or gnome spying on you.
