Jimbo: A Fantasy (1909) is a novel by Algernon Blackwood. Having
already established himself as a promising short story writer,
Blackwood published his debut novel at the age of 40. A lifelong
occultist, Blackwood was interested in the fine line between the
human and spiritual realms, often incorporating supernatural
elements into his work. Jimbo: A Fantasy is a story of a young
boy's out of body experience after sustaining a terrible injury, a
narrative that explores the vibrant worlds we wake to in our
dreams. "Jimbo had fallen on his head. Inside that head lay the
mass of highly sensitive matter called the brain, on which were
recorded, of course, the impressions of everything that had yet
come to him in life. [...] [H]e would have to wander, lost and
lonely, through the comparative chaos of disproportioned visions,
generally known as the region of delirium, until the doctor,
assisted by mother nature, restored him once more to normal
consciousness." Unsupervised, Jimmy wanders into the fields near
his home. Charged by an angry bull, he falls and strikes his head,
losing consciousness for an indeterminate period of time. As his
body struggles to stay alive, his mind creates a world of its own,
a haunting realm of dreams both fantastic and somehow realer, more
vibrant, then the world he seems to have lost. Jimbo: A Fantasy is
a story for children and adults alike, a novel that poses timeless
questions regarding the nature of our existence, both upon earth
and beyond. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Algernon Blackwood's Jimbo: A
Fantasy is a classic work of British literature reimagined for
modern readers.
