Description
In the aftermath of the notorious event of the enchanted broom, the Sorcerer’s Apprentice learns his lesson indeed: “Seek Truth, not Power,” is the Sorcerer’s dictum. Peace returns to the castle’s long days, but as obedient Humboldt grows older, a madness grows in his master. The sorcerer has discovered strange secrets in the depths of the library. Humboldt’s dreams, too, are haunted by the broom, and the gods of wood, water and straw whisper through the halls at night.
About the author
Judd Palmer is one of the founders of the Old Trout Puppet Workshop, a Calgary-based company mostly known for creating puppet theatre for adults and sometimes children, but also operas or films or even occasionally regular theatre without any puppets in it. He also writes and illustrates children’s books, in particular a series called Proposterous Fables for Unusual Children, and in his wilder days he used to play the slide banjo in a punk blues band called the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir. He lives with Mercedes, the woman of his dreams, and their son Maximiliano.
