He sorely misses his previous life of unfettered experience, therefore when he has cause to explore Small Puddledon, he jumps at the opportunity. But what he discovers there is something-and someone-he under no circumstances knew he’d dropped, and a once forbidden like whose time provides come, if only he can persuade Pencil he’s home to remain . . .
