• Review:  A sweet story which, for me, was like stepping inside the mind of a 100 year old whose internal world is significantly more vivid than his physical world.  The reader  is privy to a set of adventures through history, with the protagonist playing quietly dynamic roles in major political events.  Meet characters like Albert Einstein's adopted half brother, an elephant who save's the protagonist's life by sitting on a villain, and a mob boss.  I imagine an elderly person's hazy blending of history, both personal and political, with the yearning to escape the restrictions which accrue with age.
