"Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist.
Children already know that dragons exist.
Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed."
-G. K. Chesterton
This fantasy goes a step further. It not only shows that the dragons can be killed. It teaches the children how to kill them.
"And the great dragon was cast out,
That Old Serpent, Called The Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world:
he was cast out into the earth,
and his angels were cast out with him."
REVELATION 12:9
Here are the dragon stories I have been working on for about thirty years, (well, not the whole time) to help my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren learn critical thinking skills. (Link to where you can buy the books to be provided later.)
Testimonial from first person to hear the first series of stories, "The Journey of Truth and Justice".
"Foul Lazy Dragons is an adventure book that takes you to an imaginary land called Low Check full of dragons, magicians and lies. Travel with Trudy and Jay who dare to match wits with evil dragons while trying to get back home. With such wonderful characters as Lug the donkey, High the monkey, and Pass the little bird helping the children, what can go wrong? I say to anyone who thinks that this story is for children only, you are sadly mistaken. Foul Lazy Dragons is not just for children. It is for anyone who has an imagination, anyone who wants to recognize Dragon lies, and for everyone who is still a child at heart. But be careful, you might just learn how to detect dragon lies in your own world. I am truly blessed to have a husband who enjoys writing stories and reading them aloud to me. Thank you dear husband."
