Case in point; Many have dismissed Maurice as being one of those exagerations, that no such person could have ever existed. True, most of the characters in this series I have never been touched by in real life, but the fact is that Maurice does exist. He was an influention character in this book aswell as my life. He's as real as you and I, and I dedicate this book to the kind hearted man from Camaroon." Rob Hale
