Publisher's Synopsis
Jack has many adventures and narrow escapes on his journey. He also meets an assortment of memorable characters-including 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 Jack's own stories and the framing narrative, are woven into a complex, dazzling tapestry that will capture the reader's imagination. Through them, Edward Myers explores the power-for good and for evil-of the stories we all tell.
