This is a modern fairy tale, about a gambling and far-from-thrifty alcohol-dependent father, Mr Waver, who disappears in the nearby forest and is presumed—and officially declared—dead.
His son, Luca Waver, knows in his heart that his father is not dead. He keeps telling that to Mrs Weaver and plans to search the whole world to find him.
By means of magic, he does scour the Universe and finds him! However, he cannot save him right away. He has to return home and wait for other forces to bring Mr Waver back.
The fairy tale introduces many mind-boggling characters—such as the Snake-O-Longs, King Flint, Good-As-Hot-Bread, Seven-Stars Dwarf etc.—and places—such as Pleasant Laziness Planet, the Musical Farm, Cereal Planet...
And the final surprise is a real feast. Please buy the book and find out what that is—it is really worth it!
