The adventures of Kikki and the pig continue as they arrive at the birth place of the pig in the company of Arunda and Ingman, the pygmy pair, and Achid, the Ex-High Monkey of the Goodearth. The cast of characters and their intersecting lives widens and interweaves as fate and destiny are explored and embraced... whether reluctantly or joyfully, but forever with transformative results. For the perception of our unity is greater than our individual selves. "If through some miracle of temporal displacement Jack London had gotten to collaborate with Aesop on a whimsical yet piquant epic set in the jungles of Gabon, the result might have read like The Hooded Cloak Chronicles. Anyone who has been moved by Richard Adams's Watership Down or Yann Martel's Life of Pi is certain to enjoy this deliriously lyrical and puissantly poetic fable." --James Morrow, author of the Godhead Trilogy "The Hooded Cloak Chronicles is a fabulous account of how a home can be found in the darkest of places, and of how true friends can help you find it anywhere. Each character has their own personal charm, from the 'macho' (albeit sensitive) pig to the bravest cavy you're likely ever to meet. Even the 'obnoxious' leopard is irresistible, despite his status as the most infuriating animal to be found in Gabon. Yet however great a writer must be to bring his characters to life, Chaffee manages to take it one step further: The Hooded Cloak Chronicles is set in a world where not only everyone, but everything is alive--characters, trees, water, even houses. Mr. Chaffee's debut fable is unlike anything else ever written: witty, charming, and fabulously told, its three separate parts--Keepers, The Enchanted Jungle and Mud-hut respectively--have captured me forever." --Leonie Wolthuis, M.A. English Literature, Translator By This Author The Hooded Cloak Chronicles
