Lu-Tze's Yearbook of Enlightenment

Stephen Briggs

Paul Kidby

Lu-Tze is a senior History Monk also known as Sweeper. Although thought to be 800 years old there are some who claim he is older yet . . . 5200 years older in fact because for the History Monks time is a resource to manipulate and they do . . .
Lu-Tze a bald yellow-toothed little man with a wispy beard has a faintly amiable grin as if constantly waiting for something amusing to happen and a handy epithet for every occasion. In his life Lu-Tze has done everything and his past deeds are legend amongst the History Monks. He is a follower of The Way of Mrs Marietta Cosmopilite. He also grows Bonsai mountains.
LU-TZE'S YEARBOOK OF ENLIGHTMENT (including The Way of Mrs Cosmopilite) is the ideal companion for those seeking truth and harmony and well the meaning to life - though he doesn't guarantee it will be the right meaning . . .
