About
Tymmon was thrown out of his kingdom, and has to make his way in the world, but unexpected help from a singing gargoyle will certainly make that easier In one night, Tymmon's life is turned upside down. His father, the beloved court jester of Austernerve, is kidnapped in a night raid. Tymmon escapes his father's fate but must find shelter in the dark, deep, and dangerous Sombrous Forest. There, he meets another kind of outcast: Troff, a fearsome-looking dog-like gargoyle with an unexpectedly gorgeous singing voice. Together, the two form a great duo: Tymmon plays the flute while Troff sings. They take their act around the kingdom, until a chance encounter with a mysterious old man gives the two an opportunity to save Tymmon's father, and change Tymmon's life forever. This ebook features an extended biography of Zilpha Keatley Snyder.

"There is much to enjoy in this adventure of a boy and his gargoyle. Reminiscent of Adam of the Road. The tale should please animal lovers and fans of the picaresque."
