In the city of Stone and Smoke, where the chimneys of Newcastle tickle the clouds, a young boy is about to discover a secret that the Great Gold-Dragon has spent centuries trying to hide. While the Silk-Hatted Men count their clipped gold in the high squares, the Boy finds an ancient Lantern of Glass in a quiet cellar. It doesn't burn oil, and it doesn't need a match. It humms with the energy of a new kind of treasure-a Man-Made Wonder called the Gold Caspian.
This is a legendary crypto-fable for the next generation. It is a story of Integrity, showing that a true wonder is built by the "Nobodies" so that the many may eat. Join the Boy on the Road of Light as he learns that "enough" is a feast, and that a single, honest promise is worth more than a mountain of stolen gold. Perfect for parents to read aloud or for young adventurers to discover on their own.
