MEET MR. WANGDU—A RESIDENT OF THE EXTRAORDINARY PLANET `HACHYUKISUNASKI,` A WORLD SMALLER THAN EARTH YET LARGER THAN MERCURY. HE IS AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL INHABITANT—AN `ALIEN` IN HUMAN FORM. YES! INDEED—A HUMAN! HE HAS ALWAYS HARBORED A SENSE OF WONDER AND FASCINATION REGARDING THE PEOPLE OF EARTH. IT IS THROUGH THIS UNIQUE CONNECTION THAT HE PERSONALLY NARRATES A SERIES OF AMUSING AND THRILLING TALES. TWO HUNDRED YEARS OLD; FOUR EYES; FOUR ARMS; TWO ROUND, ROTATING LEGS; COLOR-SHIFTING SKIN; AND A SINGLE NECK—ALBEIT ONE THAT CAN BE DETACHED AND SET ASIDE AT WILL! AND YES, A MAGICIAN CAPABLE OF TELEPORTING FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER IN AN INSTANT—SOMETIMES SHRINKING TO A TINY SIZE, AT OTHER TIMES GROWING TO IMMENSE PROPORTIONS—THIS IS NONE OTHER THAN `DHUMSHUK KUMUSHAK WANGDU.` THIS PECULIAR BEING FREQUENTLY EMBARKS ON JOURNEYS TO PLANET EARTH, AND—OH, THE THINGS THAT ENSUE! PURE PANDEMONIUM, THRILLS, MADCAP ESCAPADES, AND UNFORGETTABLE ENCOUNTERS WITH NATURE. DO YOU WISH TO EXPERIENCE IT TOO? THEN COME ALONG... WHERE? INTO THE BOOK! DHUMSHUK IS WAITING FOR YOU...
