    About this ebook

    Gnomin and Brin think they are the cleverest, wisest dwarfs in the dwarven kingdom, while humans - a rarity in their parts - are the most stupid creatures in the land.
    Imagine their annoyance, when the King of all dwarfs sends them on a wild goose chase to find out if the legendary world of humans exists. A world where humans manage to fly inside gigantic iron birds and construct impressive machines that can control nature itself.
    Will the two wise dwarfs manage to safeguard their scientific credibility and confirm their theories about the emptyheadedness of humans or will they be lost forever in a hostile and dangerous reality?
    The book “A reversed tale for two not so wise dwarfs” is not an ordinary story about two dwarfs. It has been written to assist two overconfident fairy tale characters escape a fate worse than death, namely that of being stuck in a strange and unfriendly reality. Our reality!
    The only way this story can achieve its goal is if you, the reader, discover its true purpose by traveling along with human expert Brin and King’s advisor Gnomin not to the fairytale world but to our world, seeing it with new eyes. It’s a short story for children but it will also make older readers think about how real is actually what we consider real and how imaginary what we deem imaginary.

      A Reversed Tale For Two Not So Wise Dwarfs

      A time upon once…

      Don’t be alarmed! I’ll say it again in case you’ve missed it: A time upon once. That’s how this story begins. That’s always the case with reversed tales. It’s a story told by grandmothers there, in the world of fairytales on the flat earth, and it describes the events that took place once in the land of dwarfs.

      That land was so isolated and surrounded by stormy sea that no outsider could traverse the turbulent waters and reach it.

      Big deal! I bet that’s what many of you are thinking. If the events it describes took place in the land of fairytales, like all the rest of the magical stories for young children, then why is this story reversed? Be patient and all will be explained in good time.

      There, in this enchanted land, apart from the dwarfs lived also some elves and very few humans. But they were so rare that one very seldom had the chance of encountering one of them.
