July 27, 2005 -- BookSurge announces the release of "The Good Witch's Book of Myths and Legends," by Hanyokrowati.
“ The Good Witch's Book of Myths and Legends ”
Wood nymphs, river gods, and demons, oh my! Author Hanyokrowati has created a tale of enchantment and wonder for children of all ages to enjoy. The book consists of stories within a story, told to the nearby farm children by the good witch Tchiw. The good-hearted Tchiw lives in a gingerbread house, which she created by accident, and has a tendency to botch her spells from time to time.
Delighting in the children's presence, Tchiw shares goodies and tales, which both delight and educate the children on the origin of the world's greatest geological mysteries, such as volcanoes, rainbows, and the stars in the sky. "The Good Witch's Book of Myths and Legends" is the perfect story for parents and children to share.
“Author Hanyokrowati has a pithy sense of humor and a fast-paced but reassuring style that is sure to endear her to every child who hears this read-aloud tale. Her scatterbrained witch's misguided attempts at casting spells provide light-hearted interludes for the telling of the pre-history of the magical world she has created in her book, which also carries a gentle lesson about loyalty and trust. 'The Good Witch's Book of Myths and Legends' is sure to become a bedtime favorite.”
-Ellen Tanner Marsh, New York Times Best-Selling Author
