A fantasy novel like none you have ever experienced!

  Gregory Maguire, the author of Wicked writes: “An impressive achievement, bravely independent and unique while at the same time reminiscent in parts of Lewis Carroll, C.S. Lewis, and Tolkien (though Tolkien is rarely as light) ... There is so much to admire—the impressive invention and the unrelentingly energetic application of so many areas of literary and aesthetic expertise—also the sheer design of the text, the variety and competence of the illustrations, the grandness of the conception.”

228 page paperback with 32 full-color, full-page illustrations, 70 black and white illustrations, plus maps and charts — By T. E. Breitenbach
 
 At last we learn what those fleeting images of movement are, the ones you often see out of the corner of an eye, but which quickly disappear when you turn to look! They are the New Creatures. With the aid of the magical Grumparar, we join the author on his journey to the creature’s homeland where he befalls adventure, mystery, and narrow escapes, as he seeks to learn more about the host of funny, warm, and frightening New Creatures. And—as if that isn’t enough—along the way we find answers to many of life’s imponderables: how sneakers get holes, where houseflies go in winter, and how mountains talk to one another, to name just a few. The text is well-illustrated with dozens of creatures and maps, while an included "field guide" pictures and describes over 200 New Creatures. Conceived by artist T. E. Breitenbach, well-known for his humorous Proverbidioms series of paintings, this is an imaginative, allegorical adventure like none you have ever been on. So, sit back, put your feet up, and prepare to be entertained!

( Phantastic! - This is a wonderful, phantasmagorical, clever, fanciful look into the mind and artwork of the Author. The story is a pleasure to read, and the way it is interwoven with the illustrations works exquisitely. The detail and categorization of the drawings (New Creatures) is nothing less than amazing. This is a great read for both children and adults. I highly recommend this. ~ R.R.

T. E. Breitenbach, the creator of 'Hieronymus', is himself a painter of fantasy, well known for his masterwork 'Proverbidioms', and as such he lends his own personal angst to the show—the feeling that most everyone doesn’t really get it, even those closest to you. The passion, the joy, the pain—the creation and reality of such. ~ Barbara K.

 Little Black Boxes is a magical and charming show. Mr. Breitenbach creates credible characters that we really care about. I was left with a very good feeling. ~ Jean B 

Little Black Boxes - $2.99  (A Musical Script)
The eBook version by T. E. Breitenbach
 
 LITTLE BLACK BOXES is a magical, romantic fantasy. It takes place circa 1920. A small town is turned upside down when a stranger, wearing a bowler and mustache, rides into town on his bike and selectively hands out a dozen little, black boxes. He instructs the new owners not to open his or her boxes, for if they do the boxes will be empty. However, he says that their patience will bring them (or someone they know) a treasure. Along the way, lost loves are found, mysteries uncovered, murderers and crooks are routed out, and there is, perhaps, a miracle or two. Anyway—everyone will get exactly what they deserve! Learn how lives are changed for the better or worse as this unusual situation is dealt with.
 
Little Black Boxes is an ideal ensemble piece! Several simultaneous stories are being told, ensuring that no two characters dominate the performance.
