The Dreadful Noises of Landoshar

Autor Patsy Stanley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 dec 2018
Wizard Reuben Ashtar, and later, his son Foxglove, attended the Great Homnom School of Wizardry, where the headmasters, in self defense from their odiferous cheese grating, grumbling ways, hastily designated each one in turn, Official Dreadful Noise Controllers, and sent them out into the world to conquer any Dreadful Noises they encountered. It was a position they each held with mostly no degree of success, but one that afforded vast relief from cheese grating and grumbling to the headmasters and other wizardry school students. After many years Wizard Reuben Ashtar retired and after laying about a long while, he decided to build Landoshar, a magic kingdom for children. Wisely, he set aside a part of Landoshar for the Dreadful Noises and put them in it, but everyone knows they are most excellent escape artists, and very good at causing embarrassment. Everything went along as planned until the magic land of Landoshar was almost finished; then Reuben made a doleful discovery Many of the odorous, cheese grating Dreadful Noises he had chased for many years, mostly without any success, had escaped and were busy scaring away the elves, trolls, fairies, and the other magic beings living in Landoshar Reuben and Foxglove set out to find the Dreadful Noises and return them to their part of Landoshar, but as we know, most numerous, naughty Dreadful Noises have other plans. Find out what they are up to and where they might strike next on their adventures with Wizard Reuben Ashtar and Foxglove

Notă biografică

Growing up in displaced circumstances and enduring long, dreary winters, I fantasized about how wonderful Christmas could be. The magical Christmases I created in my imagination comforted me at Christmas time and throughout the year. More magic collected in my heart each year and fed my lonely soul with hope and wonder. A meager Christmas dinner and hungry, arguing relatives all faded away as I watched falling snow twinkle outside like diamonds. I built castles in my mind and peopled them with beings that had warmth, wisdom, generosity and went on adventures. The seeds of those fantasies never faded. They grew and lived on as hope held on tightly to my soul through barren, snowy Christmases. Their magic left a colorful, imaginative Kingdom behind that I could enter, and often did, long after I'd escaped the reality of my beginnings. The time came when I felt compelled to draw and write to keep the magic of the Crones, Box Keepers, and the Others peopling the Kingdom Of true Believers In Imagination alive. I mapped out the Kingdom of True Believers in Imagination, the characters and their stories. All of them flourished and grew beautifully while I wrote, drew, and aged- yes, that too- Yes, I came to know all of the inhabitants very well....The Crone's wisdom. The Box keeper's rescue missions. The Others, with all their flavors, sizes and talents. The people around me encouraged me to share the stories they so enjoyed with others, so I began to think that others might enjoy the beings, the spiritual helpers that peopled the Kingdom of True Believers in Imagination, and come away with their own Hopes, Wisdoms and Laughter, too. It took years and time to collect and illustrate the characters and their adventures in order to begin putting this spectacular Christmas book together. I so admired the beautiful vintage 1950's Christmas books, and so I wanted fairy tales and funny, clever, positive short stories framed in wonderful illustrations for the young at heart reader. And in the doing of it, each story became a simple play, easy to act out. Please accept my invitation to enter The Kingdom of True Believers in Imagination with me, where allegory, humor, beauty, and laughter abound while we adventure together.
