Step into the B. D. Harris\u2019s world of tales for children and adults alike in ‘seven’. These seven illustrated short stories explore fatherhood and loss, and amongst his “gobbledygleeps or leapityleaps”, you\u2019ll find yourself beginning to imagine some new worlds.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur dreams are who we are, and not who we are going to be,\u201d says Harris in his foreword to ‘seven’. As his debut publication with Imagnary House Publishers, which launched in May 2016, the collection is an entrance into the many worlds that he will be exploring in future releases. The featured short story of the collection is a two-part tale called \u2018The Magician\u2019.<\/p>\n

Synopsis of \u2018The Magician\u2019:<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the edge of a small town, a young boy lives alone with his father. Now, there are two things you ought to know about his father: 1) that he is a carpenter, and 2) that he is a magician. Magicians are funny people who never quite say what they are up to… so when his father doesn\u2019t show up on his birthday, the young boy decides to go looking for him. Together with a suspicious imaginary friend, he\u2019s pulled into the magical world that his father has created, in desperate search of how to bring him home.<\/p>\n

“Harris has a kind of magic in his writing fingers which makes this a lovely book for children. Not quite a novel, not quite a collection of stories, filled with surprise and delight, with suspense and relief, illustrated with wit and imagination, it marks the start of a very promising career,” says Imraan Coovadia, Harris’s mentor.<\/p>\n

Only 100 copies are being printed as the limited first edition, and every first edition copy is signed and noted by the author. The limited first edition is a classically designed hardcover of royal blue fabric and titled in silver foil. It can be found at www.imagnaryhouse.com.<\/p>\n
