Prester John
Authorship not stated
You are Davie Crawfurd, a minister's son, when a visiting preacher named John Laputa closes his sermon on empire and equality and walks off toward the darkened shore. You and two friends trail him and watch him trace a pattern in the sand and raise a carved ivory necklace to the moon, until he catches you listening. Seven years later, orphaned and headed to a South African trading post, an unsigned sketch of that same necklace turns up inside your new employer's papers.
