    I became a book maniac by the age of 5 and by the age of 10 I had already a small library of ca. 400 books which I all had read several times.

    Now, thousands of books later, I am reading the fantasy novel KEYS OF WISDOM by Linda Williams and I feel something which I felt very few times in my life and which I can compare only to the feeling I had reading the NARNIA-series. KEYS OF WISDOM is a modern classic in the tradition of LORD OF THE RINGS and C. S. Lewis. It is as entertaining as the HARRY POTTER books and I hope it will become equally successful and popular around the whole world. For me, it is greater than HARRY POTTER, because like the great masters J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis and Michael Ende's THE NEVER-ENDING STORY or MOMO it offers true spiritual insight.

    KEYS OF WISDOM is a complex world on its own which countless characters, adventures, places and countries developed by writer Linda Williams over 25 years. For me KEYS OF WISDOM is as great a read as Christopher Paolini's ERAGON and ELDEST and Cornelia Funke's INKHEART, INKSPELL, DRAGON RIDER and THIEF LORD.

    In KEYS OF WISDOM we experience Mother Earth as a living, intelligent, loving being. This Mother Earth created certain sacred stone formations comparable to Australia's Ayers Rock, England's Stonehenge or Tibet's Mount Kailash worshipped by Hindus and Buddhists alike. This stone formations express the subtle qualities of Mother Earth and therefore life itself like innocence, creativity, self-confidence, satisfaction, generosity and compassion. By awakening one of these sacred stone formations known as The Temple of Support, our group of young heroes trigger an earthquake, shatter the power of the dark sorcerers of Teletsia and the prophecy takes its way. The group of young rebels manage to escape from the prison-like island kingdom Teletsia, taking a vow to return one day and free their people. As they head into the open sea they find their way to the Island of Creations where they get introduced to the Keys of Wisdom, masterly crafted Keys with different number of petals mysteriously responding to the Tree of Life.

    A great book. A modern classic.
