Meet Ludvimin Reyna, Author of Tetong in the Land of the Unknown

This is the story of a young man’s passage to manhood as he and his two brothers struggle to save their father from the curse of an evil sorcerer. Skeptical, arrogant and even insolent at first, the boy quickly learns that there are creatures and magic far beyond his imagination or even comprehension. His quest for the magic takes him from one end of the northern part of the Philippines to the other and into dimensions far beyond.

Written for children, this novel is a fantasy romp for kids of all ages and in the best tradition of Charles Perrault, Hans Christian Anderson and the Brothers Grimm.
