"Chronicles the explorations of a young man as he paddles from his home in the North Pole to the South Pole. There, he meets his true love, but their romance is ill-fated. Early Earth's unusual and finicky polarity means the lovers can never touch."--Publisher's website.
"THIS BOOK IS NOT A REAL ENCYCLOPEDIA! It is an epic work of fiction, detailing the many tales and adventures of one lonely storyteller on a quest for Enlightenment and True Love. This book contains many stories, big and small, about and pertaining to the following things: gods, monsters, mad kings, wise old crones, shamanes, medicine men, brothers and sisters, strife, mystery, bad science, worse geography, and, did we already mention, True Love?"--Cover p. [4].

Fables of Love, Creation, Monsters and More submitted by k8e on June 20, 2015, 12:06am This graphic novel combines beautiful illustrations; a great sense of humor; and moving sadness in a world-building story of creation, love, magic, and mythology. Every panel is packed with visual details and the book itself is beautifully printed. Well worth a read.
