An Illustrated
Modern Fantasy
A Family Tale with Complications
Eight-year-old Michael Flintlock’s world is upended when he catches Grandpa wearing a Santa suit—shattering his belief in the holiday’s most famous jolly old fellow.
Disillusioned, Michael channels his frustration into his artwork, unknowingly bringing to life a new Santa Claus.
But this Santa isn’t here to deliver gifts. Instead, he whisks Michael and his family into an extraordinary world shaped by imagination and mystery.
Separated across surreal landscapes, each family member must confront their deepest flaws and learn to understand one another—before they are lost in this fantastical world forever.
Michael didn’t like the truth about Santa.
So he rewrote it—with crayons… and interdimensional consequences
Fantastical Nature is an illustrated modern fantasy that intertwines holiday magic with a child’s boundless creativity, with a blend of whimsical adventure and heartfelt themes, in the vein of The Neverending Story and The Marvelous Land of Oz.
