Product Description
Product Description
A constructive and buoyant book that takes the reader back to re-discover the imagination we all enjoyed as children... In this book we delight in the imagination we (grownups) might still have had if only we had continued to believe in magic. It provides a fascinating description of the world as we would see it had we never grown up... The refreshing perspective of a child, yet one that does not forego a grown up sense of humour... 'Knowing about the slow, but terrible strength of an iceberg on a collision course, the ice dragon turned one of his claws to water...' If you don't believe in that absolute strength of ice, just ask the constructors of the Titanic. They thought they had built an 'un-sinkable' ship. It turned out that a mere ice-cube, like the ones we find in our 'vodka on the rocks' (granted only a little bigger) was enough to sink it. Then again, a couple of those 'vodka on the rocks' are enough to sink anybody... I wonder if it's the ice in my drinks that makes me go down... Henceforth, at the end of an eventful evening, I shall say: 'I'm totally Titaniced! Barkeeper, there was too much ice in that last drink!'
