Description

The Kingdom of Nowt is a magical and musical story of unusual creatures that have lived under the earth since the beginning of time. They are the Treemungermen, and come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Trunks and bushes grow from the tufts of dirt on top of their heads, and they blow into the hollows of their arms, making the most beautiful sounds. Others tap their fingers against their trunks making sounds of bam dee dee bam bam boom bom bom. Others bellow huge sounds, "Sing ho ho, sing ho ho, ah yee nah sen hah yah ho!" They have come to a young boy, Ben, who was prophesized to save them from perils of the earth's destruction by man's neglect. Ben agrees to save them, but first he must convince his parents that these remarkable beings exist. Ben's journey takes him under the earth to experience the fantastic fentubbles where everything we know in the world originates. Into the sky to fly with eagles and falcons by learning the secret chant that can help any of us to soar among the clouds. And, into the circle of light that binds treemungermen and people together. The story culminates in Ben's remarkable and unexpected transformation, and a seismic shift in his family and the world around him. In the end, the possibility for a new tomorrow for our planet is assured, a place where humans and Treemungermen can live together.
