A triptych of novels in one volume with an introduction by the author. The novels acknowledge debts to a multiplicity of sources, from the troubadours to Voltaire, from the Sicilian puppet theatre to the stories of Robert Louis Stevenson, and can be interpreted as allegories in an infinity of modes.
