Continuing the fantasy world of "The Man Who Stole Moonlight"

A fish yearning for the sky, a man entrusted with driving away winter, a stray cat searching for homesickness, a sailor setting sail for the first time, a flower said to bring good luck, a guide that ensures you reach your destination... (and of course, Bench's adventures are indispensable)

Let go of your current understanding of the world and let the world reintroduce itself to you through these nineteen wonderful stories.
