    About this ebook

    A lonely librarian discovers another world.

    Of beauty and dreams.

    Of miracles and fantasy.

    But there's also a monster.

    This is coffee cup fantasy, long enough for a cup of coffee and to relax with for a short time.

      The phone went for the fourth time that morning, and I had a pretty good idea who was calling. ‘It’s me,’ said my sister Deb. ‘Look here, do you think I have to finish all these books?’ ‘Up to you. Why do you ask?’ The phone went silent for a moment,
