Among the Pandemoniumous Mismaides. A Fantasy

Lanky Dank is the lone survivor of a terrible shipwreck, which leaves him in a state of amnesia and distressing fear. He finds himself on the shores of Urula Beach, where he`s rescued by a passel of dwarfish people-the Tattertoids. Their roundish faces were as dazzling as their oddish duds. It was hard to look into their eyes that stuck out on the surface of their cinnamon skin like glittering marbles. They bring him to their strange dwelling in a cave inside Warwick Hill. Just as stunned with the interior of their home as he`d been with their appearance, Lanky Dank felt he was surely dreaming. Fear possessed him. And when he learns at length the eldest son, Izzie, has run off with Warrior Wolfe who had been ordered by the King to go and reconnonoitre the lair of four dragons who`d shut up the neighboring king´s castle in the Land Beyond the River, Lanky Dank wanted no part of it. But to show his gratitude to the Tattertoids for rescueing him, he drags himself along willy-nilly. Can Lanky Dank overcome his debilitating fear and be of some use in the inevitable showdown with the ferocious Formidable Four?
