About the book
Welcome to the whimsical world of imagination where words dance and stories spring to life!
THE THREE THIEVES AND THE MAGIC TEARS IS:
Our three thieves begin a journey to kidnap a magical little old woman with the remarkable gift of her tears falling as diamonds. They must travel to the four corners of the dark forest. In each land they encounter frightening creatures and circumstances. In the frozen north they meet a great Whitewolf and her pups which threaten their lives. In the Land of the East they are met by fairies, elves and folks who walk on the air to avoid bubbling pools of scalding water. In the Land of the South they come perilously close to dying of thirst because of their ignorance of the desert. They meet the people of the south called Firewalkers and a ancient wisewoman with a red hot finger of truth. In the Land of the West they finally find a watery, diamond strewn pathway leading them to the magic old woman
Their transformation begins when they meet Nana Ida who sends them on a journey of redemption where each of them must face the things that terrifies them the most. They must pass the grotesque Guardians of the Pool of Transformation. Each Guardian forces them to face their personal nightmares. How they survive brings the climax of the story, but not necessarily the end of the tale.”
