Book of Mook

A tale six months in the telling, but thirty years in the typing, the Book of Mook recollects the author's true encounters with an enigmatic young man named Mark Bartlett and the fantasy fable he slowly related during the time they spent together in college.Beginning with an alternative tale of creation, the story concerns a race of furry beings called mookeys who once lived upon the Earth, long before humankind. Fiffle, the first of these beings, embarks upon a quest to rid the world of negativity which has begun to poison the land with sinister energy. But as Fiffle will learn, both negative and positive energies are necessary to maintain the careful balance of harmony, the glue which holds everything together.Back in reality, the author begins a quest of his own to remember his old friend and bring his mutterings out into the world, where perhaps they could inspire others as they still continue to inspire him.This is the debut novel of Philip Wyatt which has been gestating in his mind since the mid-90's, when he first heard Mark Bartlett utter that fateful word: 'mook'.
