Description
These minor myths and many more help explain other strange holiday traditions, seasonal events and even help explain whatever happened to that favorite lost toy. They also encourage the reader to imagine a deeper world filled with mysterious creatures and customs.
This book of pictures and poems is perfect for children who enjoy the strange and unusual and enjoy humor and eeriness in equal parts. Like the works of Edward Gorey or Lemony Snicket, it understands that some children enjoy a little darkness and mystery in their books. It invites the reader to not only explore strange new characters, but hints at a world they can continue to build on themselves, like Chris Van Allsburg's "Mysteries of Harris Burdick."

About the author
Tyler Hill a graphic designer and illustrator with over 10 years' experience in the field of board games. Recently, he stepped back from working in the board game industry to focus on another lifelong dream: writing and illustrating children's books. His first book, THE LESSER LEGENDS is the result of a question he has often mused on: "What if there were other legends out there that we just hadn't heard of because their more famous brethren had stolen all their fame?"
In addition to drawing and writing, Tyler enjoys gaming, comic books, world travel, and getting out into the woods. He lives in Seattle, WA, with his wife, two kids and a bordoodle named Cleopatra.
