Author Scott Swift has created a fascinating new concept in the world of children’s storytelling -stories for kids of all backgrounds! 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. Meant for children between the ages of 8 and 12, the stories are full of action and adventure, but without the intensity of more adult fare. 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! What makes these stories so unique 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! The Salesman could be any shape or size (tall, short, etc.) or of any ethnicity...whatever the child imagines! This distinctive style of writing allows children to imagine the characters in the stories as people in their own communities. A completely unique 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
