THE ALCHEMASTER'S APPRENTICE A Culinary Tale from Zamonia by Optimus Yarnspinner

In faraway Zamonia, the creepy Ghoolion lives in his creepy castle in Malaisea, where he creates culinary masterpieces. Echo, a crat (a kind of talking cat), makes a deal with Ghoolion, who agrees to feed him for a month and teach him all his secrets. In return, Echo will be killed and rendered into fat for Ghoolion’s experiments. Bronson Pinchot gives a fantastical narration of this fantasy for children of all ages. Pinchot captures the essence of Echo, an intriguing little fellow. Pinchot’s quick banter and zany presentation provide laugh-aloud moments and general fun. J.E.M.
