Featuring fifteen pieces of prose, including a selection of dream-like \"notes\", the present book introduces the reader to an office worker who has in his desk drawer, amongst other things, a horse and a tree; a story-teller who has a path running through his bedroom; a street vendor whose customers might be imaginary, as might be his wares.  At once enchanting, visionary, and poignant, \u003cem\u003eThe Key to Reality is a masterpiece of narrative reflection that operates like a series of magic spells which, with great poetic beauty, transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Snuggly Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50387623215378,"sku":"9781645250913","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_7c1861c3-55c4-4959-baa6-f76b8d5e8ca7.jpg?v=1728881571","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-key-to-reality-9781645250913","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
