Publisher's Synopsis
Part adventure-yarn; part moral allegory. This enchanting novel tells the story of one boy's inspiring quest of self-discovery. When a mysterious traveler leaves him a map to the location of an ancient mountain, Hugo Driscoll goes in search of the wise man that lives near its peak and who is said to hold the secret to a life of happiness. But what he discovers are unexpected treasures he could never have imagined. This simple tale draws on ancient and modern wisdom that is both poetic, practical and deeply thought-provoking, yet its lessons offer hope, happiness and help. Whilst a charming story on its surface, the novel is also a guidebook to navigate the modern world in which we walk, with a core philosophy that will inspire readers' hearts.
