A not-to-be missed story for kids of all ages!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat are the Traveling Salesman stories about?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDifferent 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! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginating 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!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Salesman could be any shape or size (tall, short, etc.) or of any background…whatever the child imagines!
