At the beginning of their journey, one group member suggested a game to entertain everybody.All of them had to tell one story. The best story would win a prize at the end of the journey. Everyone had something he wanted to share. A truly, gorgeously handsome volume, designed to become an heirloom, in collectible and gift-giving condition.
