Forma had always been proud of his wealthy father who had raised him albeit being a bit distant, and in many ways emulated him. Now he has a godfather and mentor in Mayakin, a totally different kind of man. Forma suspects that Mayakin wants him to marry his daughter Luba, something he is not too keen on…

      Jun 5, 2019

      The villagers of Yockenthwaite knew him as ‘Jack Dull’, ‘Jack Dolt,’ or sometimes just ‘The Dullard’. His real name was John Dullard, last in a long, illustrious line of Dullards, and a man – so they said – of quite miraculous stupidity. The kind of
