Here’s all I remember about this: it was a shorter book [150 pages max? Couldn’t have been more]—~20 years old at most? with kinda surreal illustrations. There was some sort of civilization of microscopic people [people??] that lived within this massive person. They might’ve been centered in the kidney/liver. One person has to go on a voyage to the eye, perhaps motivated by the illness go a family member [maybe mother?] and goes to various other body parts before reaching the eye including the nipple.

The book ends with these people having reached the eye—now they can see the world outside of this large person they live in.

The Kwikspell course literature comes with two testimonials. Madam Z. Nettles of Topsham writes: ‘I had no memory for incantations and my potions were a family joke...
