A SURPRISING HERO...
Born of a barren mother, Elmandif sprang forth to great village celebration. The village of Loess had never seen a child like him — he was conversant with animals, he carried snakes in his hair and the movements of his hands and loins were developed far beyond his years.

A STRANGE QUEST...
And when the time came, he embarked on a curious journey where his confrontations with a barefoot walker whose gold was hidden across the wide earth, a dead dog who barked at the sea, and a man with a gem-encrusted elephant's head — led him back to the place where he had begun —and the most amazing conclusion to an astonishing trip.
