A beautiful queen has fallen ill and
it is up to her three children-Boris, Viana and Garth-to find a
cure. Seymour the Wizard tells them of enchanted golden apples that
grow in the Garden of Knowledge. These apples hold the secret to her
cure. On their way to the garden, the children, one by one, become
victims of the evil, charismatic Grum, who persuades them to consume
magic crystals. At first, the crystals make the children strong, but
in the end, they make them gravely ill.
"A moralistic fairy tale with an
anti-drug message. A classic, well-meaning fable."
-Kirkus Discoveries
"A thrilling medieval tale that is a clever approach to drug
education."
-The New York Times Book Review

Surgeon's Personal Experiences and Philosophical Reflections on
Living Fully
