Über dieses E-Book

Beauty. Humour. Life. Tragedy. Love. Five muses of the mind. Five muses that feed into our social landscapes: our parties, our workspaces, our storylines. Musefood, presented in five 'courses', satisfies our hunger for a little fantasy, a little memoir, a little peep behind the mask. Each muse is explored for its possibilities and quintessential character. A book to savour on the tongue. Wholesome. High energy. A muse feast.
