Erasmus Cromwell-Smith

The Equilibrist III Erasmus Cromwell-Smith

A professor of poetry at a New England College, Erasmus Cromwell-Smith, upon learning he is terminally ill, deviates from the curriculum and takes his students back in time to the years of his youth, on a magical journey of discovery, filled with life lessons. Along the way, together they visit, with poetry as their magic carpet, the land of dreams, hope, inspiration, and happiness, among others. Born in Wales, on the town of Hay-On-Wye, also known as -Booktown-, he grows up in a world of antique book stores with antiquarians as his mentors.

Eventually, as Young Erasmus falls in love at Harvard, he falls into a rabbit hole that ends up on a memorable finale right as the professor finishes narrating his life to his class.
