Description
While stopping at an inn for a bite to eat, the Salesman witnesses an amazing sight - a genuine Vampire kept in a silver cage to entertain the guests! Things take a drastic turn for the worse when the Innkeeper's teenage daughter is taken hostage by a nest of Vampires looking to trade her for their friend's freedom. Find out how the Salesman and the Innkeeper track down the Vampire's hiding place, and use good old-fashioned magic and muscle to free her from their clutches. An amazing story full of action and adventure with surprises at every turn! What are the Traveling Salesman Stories About? Different from other children's stories, the main character of the series, the Salesman, is never given a name, nor is he described physically. In fact, none of the characters in the stories are given names! 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. 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! The Salesman could be any shape or size (tall, short, etc.) or of any background...whatever the child imagines! This distinctive style of writing allows children to imagine the characters as anyone they want! Family members, people in their own communities or even classmates! A completely new way of telling children's stories! Ages 8 and up.
