A Story Never to Be Told: An Almost Completely True Fairy Tale

The three parts of A Story Never to Be Told - The Discovery of Left World, The Varieties of Administrative Experience & A Lesson in Positive Anticounterprophecistentialism - are now available in a single volume. During a botched experiment at Advanced Computers&Games, Pim Pergamon, a young man somewhat past his youth, is propelled from London to a place called Left World inhabited by fairies, goblins, witches and warriors, shockworkers and bureaucrats, and wolves in top hats with doctorates from University of Koenigsberg. At the same time an unsuspecting pacman is transported in the opposite direction and ends up roaming the offices of ACG here in Right World. A single gate, volatile and shifting, remains open between the two worlds, the only way for Pim to return. But there is more to Left World than fairy tales have ever told us. There was no mention of temp agencies for superheroes, no mention of dragon poetry festivals and decidedly no mention of the Directorate of Perils and Pitfalls and the Ministry of Scares and Scarcities. Pim has to rely on the help of all his friends - Left and Right - to prevent hordes of attackers from reducing Left World to ashes. Administrative Fairies, dragonsweat merchants, handsome spreadsheets, wandering kolkhozniks on the quest to find the Never-Ending Sentence and fugitive footnotes have to work together with Edna of the Human Resources, Barney the pacman and a bunch of teenagers to stop the takeover of imagination.
