In "Sean and the Little People," a quiet village clings to tradition, worshipping monkeys as sacred despite hunger. When the maharaja brings in a caged gorilla to prove they’re just animals, the villagers’ faith in the ape as a divine force leads to tragedy and a desperate act of liberation. Ray Willner’s expressive art brings this poignant tale of belief and consequence to life, with both story and cover drawn entirely by him.

In "Sean and the Little People," a young boy named Sean is shrunk to the size of a thumb by two mysterious sisters, Malee and Durva, who promise him gold if he retrieves their stolen magic belt from a mischievous crow. With the help of a kind-hearted spider named Spirra, Sean ventures into a hidden world of tiny wonders, facing challenges beyond his size. When the adventure ends, he’s returned to normal—and rewarded with the gold he earned.

In "The Gorilla God," the villagers of a drought-stricken jungle kingdom revere monkeys as sacred, even as hunger grips their families.

The story follows Ghanga and the maharaja as they track the escaped ape, testing belief against reason in a tale of myth, fear, and the fragile line between man and beast.
