more than flying in the air

If a child has a friend who is imaginary we encourage them - but when an adult has one we get scared and do our utmost to drive them away - unless, that is, it's God - because it's perfectly acceptable to talk to him. Is it any wonder children get confused? When Yuri's dad starts talking to himself, Yuri makes out that his dad is a spy, and is whispering into the walkie-talkie hidden in the fur hat he constantly wears. And even when his dad completely ignores him, and spends the whole time laughing to himself, Yuri still refuses to accept the truth, and insists that his real dad has been kidnapped by the Lord of the Zlinkers and has been taken away to Ventry. Set in the sixties, Yuri is influenced by the stories his dad has told him about Kasha - the trainee angel from the disappearing moon - whose help he enlists, as he descends deep into the heart of his dream world, to try and rescue his dad - where the only weapon he requires is his imagination.
