Congratulations! You are one of the select few to tell the tale of Hue Huxley. But please keep the story to yourself until you have gathered all that is needed to tell it correctly. The challenge will be great for you. You will be tempted to speak before knowing all the facts. Tighten your lip and hush your mouth. However, once you have acquired all the facts is it your duty to correct misguided Hue conversations. So, when you hear someone spin Hue's tale, ensure they are spinning it correctly. The story begins when...
Hue's life is transformed from the mundane to the fantastic when his father, Howard, attracts the attention of Baba Yaga, the iron-teeth, Witch of Misfortune. Enraged by Howard's comments, she brings death to him and then turns on Hue for his insulting disbelief of witches.
Even as Baba Yaga executes her misfortune, she is spied upon by Ganesh, the elephant-headed, Deity of Good Fortune. Ganesh takes favor upon the Hue and dispatches one of his familiars, a charmed Pharaoh hound called Magic, to protect and aid the now fatherless boy.
Baba Yaga, however, causes Hue and his friends to be sent to Tartarus, the underworld of Hades. There he meets Oceana, the daughter of Poseidon and rescues the Sea Princess from her watery confines then flees over the inverted Bridge of Doom.
Unrelenting, Baba Yaga has Hue imprisoned in the dark dungeons of Lowermost Castle. But with the help of a chatty Cherub and some rubberry ointment, Hue is able to squeeze from his cell. But will he be able to save himself and his friends from the menacing creatures of the castle, and return home to his own world?
Follow Hue's fortunes as they wind up and down, leaving him confused about his new found friend. Has Magic brought him misfortune? Or has the curious canine countered the bad-luck with good?
