"Clumsilla's Flight Through Time" and "Taming of the Tokhashi" are two stories whisking children from their everyday lives to lands of compelling dangers and delights.
Clumsilla meets Zigana, the celestial gipsy, who enables her to fly on a worn hearthrug (not a magic carpet), to the past inhabited by bad tempered giants, princesses, a witch and a dragon unable to breathe fire and then to a time of rocket science and menacing beings fashioned from flames.
In "Taming of the Tokhashi", Topsy and Turvy emerge from the pot of Zazhak - a devilish being - and set out to seek the Tokashi - a fellow fiend. En route they encounter a magical phoenix, a prince and princess, a lost Indian elephant and a selection of unruly nature gods. But Viana, the kindly essence of the earth, helps them through.
