Thrilling Children's Stories Meant for children 10 and up, the stories are full of action and adventure, but without the intensity of more adult fare. What makes these stories so different is that the main character, the Salesman, is never given a name, nor is he described physically. In fact, none of the characters in the stories are given names Originating from the fantastical tales a father made up from thin air each night for his sons at bedtime, the Traveling Salesman is a mystical, magical wizard of sorts who uses his wits and wizardry to escape tight spots and help those in need. Traveling from town to town, he sells everyday items enchanted with magical properties. But beware If the items are misused, the consequences can be dire Each tale is a standalone story in its own right, but taken together they weave a rich and vibrant world inhabited by werewolves, witches, and magical creatures of every kind The Salesman could be any shape or size (tall, short, etc.) or of any background...whatever the child imagines This distinctive style of writing allows children to imagine the characters as anyone they want Family members, people in their own communities or even classmates A completely new way of telling children's stories This Anthology contains eight of the Salesman's greatest tales in a single book These include: The Magic Pot and the Werewolf The Witch in the Woods The Old Wizard and the Sea The Magical Ax The Sparrow and the Magic Birdcage The Prisoner and the Wizard's Watch The Werewolves and the Sword of Medusa The Red Queen and the Eye of Divination To learn more about the Salesman and read details for the stories contained in this Anthology please visit us at: www.darktimetales.com
