Author-illustrator Matt Hammill has created a tongue-in-cheek adventure story where fantasy and reality merge, with hilarious results. The eponymous hero is an armchair explorer on a quest for a Lost Tablet of Illusion, stolen by an elusive beast. Sir Reginald’s quest takes the reader on a journey through figments and flights of imagination on one hand, and through his mild-mannered home life on the other.
Is that the deafening buzz of the carnivorous elephant beetle — or Sir Reginald’s alarm clock? Does the tiger-stripe viper lie stretched across his path — or is it a sock? What is the nature of this Lost Tablet and its awesome power? As Sir Reg veers comically between worlds, the imagination emerges as the most powerful charm of all.
