Lu Tze - my kind of sweeper
|
One of my favourites, this story is about the a monk known as Sweeper (Lu Tze) and his trainee (Lobsang Ludd) and their attempt to stop the great glass clock from chiming and so thwart the auditors of reality from destroying what they hate most - people.
During their journey together we learn about time, and why sometimes there doesn't seem to be enough. We learn the value of Rule One (do not act incaustiously when confronting little bald wrinkly smiling men!) and the Way of Mrs Cosmopilite.
My original was on tape, and I have been desperately waiting for this to be released. I prefer the original cover (covers were changed because upper management types didn't want to be seen with the Kidby covers), but change of cover doesn't reduce a great story - it, strangely, doesn't have the same feel to it though.
I love this story and afterall is it not written "I wasn't born yesterday"
