Un any abans de la seva mort, Franz Kafka va viure una insòlita experiència. Al parc Steglitz de Berlín va trobar una nena plorant perquè havia perdut la seva nina. Per calmar a la petita es va inventar una història peculiar: la nina no s’havia perdut, se’n havia anat de viatge, i ell, convertit en carter de nines, tenia una carta que li portaria el dia següent al parc. Durant tres setmanes, Kafka escriu aquestes cartes com si es tractés de qualsevol de les seves obres immortals aconseguint així crear un autèntic món de fantasia.

Wendy was just the first time Peter actually asked permission before he took a girl to Neverland to be his mother. I guess he learned his lesson from me. He kidnapped me from my bed while I was sleeping and just expected me to be his mother. I’d rather be a lost boy than his mother. Peter eventually gave up on me.

Meanwhile, old ghost stories and legends seem to be coming to life.And then there's the kobold. This novella is intended both to introduce new readers to the Royal Wizard of Yurt series and (I hope!) to give reading enjoyment to old friends.
