Sylvie and Bruno Concluded Chapter 11 - The Man in the Moon

In which a genial old gentleman with eyes deep as time itself regales children and their guardian with whimsical tales of a land where people are lighter than water, maps are made on a grand and puzzling scale, and battles are fought with curious rules that turn common sense delightfully upside down. As conversation drifts, his words shimmer with an unusual earnestness, imparting reflections on the ceaseless cycle of change in education and the spirited pursuits of youth.
