YOUNG ARTHUR & THE MAGIC SWORD and Other Stories for the Young at Heart (E-BOOK VERSION) by Jon Koons
YOUNG ARTHUR & THE MAGIC SWORD is adventure, fantasy, mystery,
comedy, mythology, and a lot more in one splendid collection of all-age
appropriate stories written by noted author, storyteller and actor, Jon
Koons.
This treasury of sixteen tales includes works previously published
as children’s books and in magazines, as well as new, never before
published additions—all of which will delight children and adults alike.
Also included is A Chelm Chanukkah, the full length story upon which A
CONFUSED HANUKKAH, Jon’s acclaimed children’s holiday book, published by
Dutton Children’s Books, was based.
The delightful illustrations, over fifty in all, are as diverse as
the stories themselves. Each story is brought to life by talented
artists Joe Bevilacqua, Abe Fay, Lorie Kellogg, Irv Koons, Jon Koons,
Josh Koons, Leah Koons, Jaime Perrelli and Janine Waldron in a variety
of mediums and styles—everything from traditional illustrations and
paintings to computer art, cartoons, photographs and even sculpture.
A fully dramatized companion audio book is coming soon from JestMaster Audio.
Praise for Jon Koons’ writing:
“The stories about the inhabitants of Chelm have always been dear to
me. A CONFUSED HANUKKAH is an absolutely charming addition to the
funny and heartwarming tales of those lovable fools.”
-LEONARD NIMOY: Actor, Author and Director
“…making the most of the silliness and slapstick, this book is a
love letter to every family that resists December's siren song of
assimilation.”
