Hidden for 40 years, they are found in a box of old books! The accidental discovery of a cache of manuscripts-stories and poems he wrote long ago-leads the author on a journey through time. Here is an eclectic mixture, including a bizarre nursery rhyme, a 'troggy' jump rope chant, a magic junk house, zombie forest musicians, and a little boy who wants to climb the 'death wall.' Travel back with Muir to the 1960s as he provides intimate glimpses into his early life, his views as a young man on love, brotherhood, and the Christian faith. This diverse mixture of delightful prose and poetry will make you laugh and weep . . .and think.
