Summary

In a world where being different can feel lonely, two unlikely friends prove that sometimes, it's our quirks that make life an adventure.

Little, the smallest rhino in the herd, has spent his days being overlooked, squashed, and forgotten. But when he finally decides to leave the chaos behind, he meets Twinkle, a flashy dragonfly with a celebrity status that's more exhausting than glamorous. Together, they embark on an unforgettable journey where big dreams and tiny wings collide.

With glasses that change everything, a sinkhole that almost swallows them whole, and a savannah that comes together to save the day, Little's and Twinkle's friendship teaches us that being true to who you are and finding someone who sees you for all you are can lead to the most surprising and heartwarming of adventures.

Join the tiniest rhino and the most fabulous dragonfly as they navigate the wild, the messy, and the wonderful world of friendship. This delightful tale is a reminder that even the smallest creatures can make the biggest splash!

    The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune -...

    Robert E. Howard

    The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune is an early fantasy tale by Robert E. Howard featuring Kull, the brooding king of Valusia. Restless on his throne and questioning the nature of reality, Kull seeks wisdom from Tuzun Thune, a mysterious sage whose room of mirrors reflects more than mere images. What begins as philosophical curiosity slowly becomes a quiet descent — Kull finds himself drawn toward a reflection that seems to hold another world, another truth, or perhaps a trap. The story is short, reflective, and atmospheric, more concerned with mood and metaphysics than with swordplay. It shows Howard exploring ideas of identity, illusion, and the thin line between thought and madness. 
The piece stands apart in Howard’s work for its stillness and tone. Instead of battlefields and roaring steel, we get silence, glass, and doubt. It’s a glimpse of the inward-facing side of a writer best known for outward violence and heroism. Through Kull’s struggle to trust his own senses, the tale anticipates Howard’s later fascination with unseen worlds beneath ordinary life. 
Robert E. Howard (1906–1936) was an American pulp writer whose vivid imagination helped define modern fantasy. Raised in small-town Texas, he sold stories to Weird Tales, creating enduring figures such as Conan the Barbarian, Solomon Kane, and King Kull. His work blended myth, physicality, and a strong sense of fatalism, often set in invented pre-historic ages. Though he died young, Howard’s influence on fantasy fiction has been enormous — his characters moved beyond magazines into comics, films, and games, shaping how readers picture warriors, wizards, and lost kingdoms. Beneath the violence and adventure ran a steady current of poetry and melancholy, both of which are clearly felt in The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune.
