Product Description
For most human beings there are two worlds: the normal, everyday world filled with rules, regulations, and alarm clocks; and the boundless world of the imagination, where anything goes, rules do not apply, and normal is a bad word.

Storied Crossings is a bridge between these two worlds. All are welcome to cross. However, no inhibitions are allowed, an open mind is required, and you must allow yourself to be swept away.

Enjoy your stay between the covers, and don't worry about coming back to the real world. It'll get along just fine while you're gone. ... Read more
