The Legend of Lor's Lost Tribe

By James Octavo

In a land of lions, leopards, tigers and mammoths, Europe was also home to the Neanderthal people. But the tribes mysteriously vanished long before those animals did. This fanciful tale of Lor’s tribe offers an alternate fate with a wistful, hopeful twist, especially considering events in our modern world. The story includes seven illustrations, one a heart-warming and poignant surprise.
