About the author
Henry Richard (pseudonym) has lived many lives — army captain, consultant, journalist, magazine editor, pub owner, cartoonist and audiologist.
In 2012, after what felt like a moment of spiritual awakening (“I happily stumbled into paradise”), he wrote The Wonder Lamp. But paradise, he discovered, still contained hungry dinosaurs and angry rhinos — the raw materials for The Big Click.
He writes with self-irony and deep compassion about the absurdity of seeking enlightenment while already standing in it. Henry Richard lives in Belgium.
The Wonder Lamp
Henry Richard
For readers seeking a clear, intelligent, and non-dogmatic exploration of spiritual life — free from self-help jargon or moral preaching.
Harry’s life is falling apart – debts, a dead-end job, and crushing loneliness. Then an unexpected gift appears: a strange lamp that seems to do nothing… yet changes everything.
Meanwhile, a modern-day Aladdin struggles with his own fading dreams in a grey apartment on the edge of Stockholm. And somewhere between their worlds, Max – the quiet mystic from The Big Click – appears, forcing Harry to face what truly matters.
Three lost souls, one mysterious lamp, and a journey that blurs the line between illusion and awakening. The Wonder Lamp is a story of ordinary lives touched by quiet miracles - and the hidden power that shines when hope is gone.
