He was fascinated, and before long learned to love it -- loved it so much that he stayed and was impelled to write a rich and tender novel about it. Into the story of Ajoks, the almost fabulous youth with the soul of a great artist who reaches heights that few of his race have ever attained, Fowler has woven much of the strange and beautiful folklore of the Javanese people.".
