Alexander Asenby's Great Adventure

by Stephen J. Brooks
Illustrated by Rajesh



      What magical worlds await Alexander on the other side of his closet door?  Each night, after his mother tucks him into bed, Alexander steals across the floor and opens the closet door to his own world of magic.  He knows the fairies need their heroic knight.  He and his beautiful dragon take off on their nightly flight.  The ogres and trolls are back ravaging the town, and the King of Fairies needs Alexander's help.  Armed with his sword and shield, Alexander is ready to send them on their way.

The colorful illustrations by Rajesh, the talented artist from South India, are a visual feast which really take you to the magic kingdom. The bright colors and intricate details of each picture invite you to go back and look at them again and again.

Stephen Books promises a World of Make-Believe series featuring Alexander Asenby.  In this book he tells the story of wonderful characters in a lyrical rhyming style that is fun to read and will definitely be a favorite bedtime story. Maybe your closet door hides an enchanting magic kingdom too. Wouldn't dreams be an exciting topic for family discussion?
