On the dark and rugged Hills of the Chankly Bore, a lonely figure wanders through the night with a spectacular, glowing nose. The Dong was once a happy creature who fell deeply in love with a Jumbly girl when her clan visited his shores. But when she sailed away in her sieve, he was left behind with a broken heart. Determined to find her across the vast and stormy ocean, he builds himself an amazing artificial nose that lights up the sky to guide his search. This touching and slightly spooky tale mixes true sadness with brilliant absurdity. It is a memorable journey about hope, dedication, and the lengths we will go to for the people we care about, wrapped up in bouncing, rhythmic poetry that makes the strange feel wonderfully real.
