Produktbeschreibung
Jimbo: A Fantasy follows the journey of a young boy whose vivid imagination leads him into a world that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. The story explores the tension between childhood creativity and the pressures of conformity, as Jimbo's family and a governess dismiss his imaginative thoughts. His mind, rich with invention, is seen as a source of trouble by adults, leading them to impose discipline that only stifles his natural creativity. However, when he encounters an empty house near his home, his imagination takes a darker turn, fueled by the governess's terrifying warnings of malevolent entities lurking inside. This shifts his once vibrant fantasy world into one of fear and captivity. As Jimbo grapples with the dark aspects of his imagination, the narrative delves into the conflict between his inner world and the external expectations imposed upon him. The novel examines how imagination can be both a source of wonder and terror, and how the boundary between reality and fantasy is often more fragile than it appears.
