A wacky comic fantasy containing an allegory of deeper meaning.Join robust shepherd lad Lathan as he tries to rescue feisty Princess Purella from a diabolical idol manufacturer, who is bent on making her the featured sacrifice at the upcoming Society of Idolaters and Necromancers (SIN) Convention Our hero is helped by a faithful dog, a handsome Prince, a secular humanist philosopher, and the mysterious coin of Trollkiller Sven Svensson, a famous hero who believed in an invisible God. More than a slapstick parade of clever dwarfs and bumbling heroes, The Shepherds Adventure, or A Practical Guide to Princess Rescuing is also a scathing satire of the secular humanism and moral relativism found in Voltaire's Candide, the philosophy which has steadily pervaded and debased modern society.
