Subject

Aaron, a young orphan, goes to live with his uncle in Chelm, a very strange village where everything is built askew and the villagers are rather stupid. However, here is where for centuries they have been guarding the book of wonders, a precious book containing the secret for making the Golem, a clay colossus capable of destroying the world. The day when a wizard gets hold of the secret and orders the Golem to begin its devastation, Aaron responds fearlessly and goes to confront the wizard.
