Book Synopsis
You''ve met the characters in "The Mysterious Secret of the Valuable Treasure". They are the quirky visionaries and misguided dreamers we all know... and might even be. From the self-appointed historian of the title story to the frustrated wage slaves of "Our Spring Catalog" and "The Pipe" these are individualists far removed from mainstream ideals. Pendarvis draws his humour from the world of high school ambitions and misunderstood intentions allowed to blossom and grow. Always original but somehow familiar, these are stories plugged into the collec-tive unconscious of our imaginary lives. Infusing his laugh-out-loud funny stories with an underlying humanity, Pendarvis is a comedic literary talent of the highest calibre.
