A mythical journey, a little girl hero, and valiant deeds fill this book. Behind a great gray wall, in a time and place far from what we believe to be true, a little gray girl lived in a small gray village. The little gray girl's name was Roloc. During this era, every day was gray. In fact, every year was a gray year and the truth is, no one remembered a time when it was different. That is, until Roloc leaned out of her window and breathed the clean, warm morning. "This is too fine a day for mundane work," she proclaimed. "A day like today calls for a quest.

Produktbeschreibung
A mythical journey, a little girl hero, and valiant deeds fill this book. Behind a great gray wall, in a time and place far from what we believe to be true, a little gray girl lived in a small gray village. The little gray girl's name was Roloc. During this era, every day was gray. In fact, every year was a gray year and the truth is, no one remembered a time when it was different. That is, until Roloc leaned out of her window and breathed the clean, warm morning. "This is too fine a day for mundane work," she proclaimed. "A day like today calls for a quest. I shall find the long-lost treasure and return it to my village." She grabbed an old treasure mad, filled her rucksack full of ripe gray apples, and left the great-walled village through its one gray gate. It was a short merry stroll until Roloc took one step inside the deep woods. Her next step was a bit more tentative. "Oh, my sakes, it's dark in here. I can't even see the gate keeper any more." Off to her right she heard a rumbly, grumbly, ghostly, growly noise. Straight up into the air she sprang and scratched her hand on a thorny bush on the way back down. "Darn, that hurts," she whined. "I guess this journey brings pain a well a treasure." Children of all ages (8-88) will enjoy this lighthearted fairytale that changes the world.
Autorenporträt
Author, Jaki Fey, was a child during WWII and remembers posters about "loose lips sink ships" and other responsibilities. She took her task of keeping soldiers safe seriously. Even today, the daily tasks children shoulder and the heroic deeds they perform resonate deep in Jaki Fey and her stories; she believes that old fashion tales should still be passed down and spoken around fires and before bed. One of her favorite quotes is a paraphrase of a G.K. Chesterton, "Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be overcome." She writes for all good mothers and faithful fathers and other keepers of a child's spirit. Jaki earned her English degree from San Jose State University with a minor in anthropology.
