The Three Mulla-Mulgars

"The Three Mulla-Mulgars" is a lyrical and enchanting fantasy quest that follows the journey of three royal monkeys-Thumb, Thimble, and Nod. Born of a noble line but living in hardship, the three brothers embark on a perilous trek across a vast, imaginative landscape to reach the distant kingdom of their uncle, Assasimmon, in the magical Valleys of Tishnar. Guided by the power of a mysterious "Wonderstone," they must navigate treacherous mountain passes and encounter strange creatures that test their courage and brotherhood.

Written with the distinct poetic sensibility for which Walter De La Mare is celebrated, this work blends the tradition of the animal fable with high-fantasy elements. The narrative is rich with invented language and a deep, haunting atmosphere, creating a world that feels both ancient and otherworldly. "The Three Mulla-Mulgars" stands as a significant contribution to early 20th-century literature, offering a sophisticated and evocative tale of longing, identity, and the search for one's true home. Its enduring appeal lies in its unique blend of whimsical adventure and serious literary craftsmanship, making it a timeless classic for readers of all ages.
