What is I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew about?

When troubles begin piling up in the Valley of Vung, a hopeful traveller sets off for Solla Sollew, a place said to have hardly any problems at all. Along the way, he faces wild storms, strange creatures, flooded paths and other absurd obstacles. Even when he finally reaches his destination, things do not go quite as planned. Told in lively rhyme and packed with wonderfully odd illustrations, this humorous adventure explores why facing life’s troubles may be wiser than running away from them.
