Summary:
Trapped in a Parisian marshmallow shop on the eve of World War II, Joshua Pearl waits to be reunited with his love in the world of fairy tales, but as his memory begins to fade his only hope of remembering his own story lays in tiny fragments of previous tales.
Joshua Pearl comes from a world that we no longer believe in -- a world of fairy tale. He knows that his great love waits for him there, but he is stuck in an unfamiliar time and place: an old-world marshmallow shop in Paris on the eve of World War II. As his memories begin to fade, Joshua seeks out strange objects: tiny fragments of tales that have already been told, trinkets that might possibly help him prove his own story before his love is lost forever.
