description: The Game of the Pink Pagoda is an ever-changing landscape embroidered with light and dark, with dreams and their reality. Here, twenty-six tales, or "model games," evoke twenty-six different literary styles, from the Victorian novel to vintage mystery, Greek myth to science fiction, medieval romance to adventure story, each revolving around a pink pagoda in the English countryside. Here find stories of love, of friendship, of the supernatural, of legend...stories of adventure, murder and kidnapping...stories with a philosophical flavor--of good versus evil, of greed, of life itself. The Game of the Pink Pagoda is more than a book...Think of it as a small town, seen through the eyes of the different inhabitants, each with his or her own interpretation. Think of it as a game, where each time you sit down to play, the goals shift, the players change places, the opportunities are disguised. Think of it as a literary marvel, a collection of stories with an eclectic style all its own, as varied and different and unique as ourselves. Think of it as a quest, for truth, for riches for answers to questions that have always been asked. Think of it as an experience, a myriad tapestry that will change the way you look at your world forever. Think of the Pink Pagoda, and you'll begin to understand the Game--andwhy you are playing....
