The Adventures of Benji, Pansy, and Herzhog

The Adventures of Benji, Pansy, and Herzhog is an engaging fairy tale that will take readers on a journey to another land as three young teens, two princes—Herzhog and Benji, and their friend, Lady Pansy—embark on intriguing and amazing adventures. The first of which is the surprising discovery of Zhog, a twisted tale to be sure. Complete with witches, wizards, trolls under bridges, potions and hexes, twists and turns abound.

 The trio, Benji, Pansy, and Herzhog, encounters extraordinary, offbeat, and peculiar characters—some good and some evil. Fizzle BoomDiggle, the half-dragon, half-human; Harry HobGob, a little hairy, mischievous man; and Sherriff BumbleHauser, his wife Bertha, and the unique villagers; are but a few that become entwined with the three royalists. Written with a rhythmic charm, the author has weaved a web of fantasies, that can be enjoyed by all ages, young and old.

See if you can find a bumbler, a fizzler, a purple witch, a smelly fellow and two troublesome troll brothers.
