Traveling from town to town, he sells everyday items enchanted with magical properties. But beware! If the items are misused, the consequences can be dire! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Salesman could be any shape or size (tall, short, etc.) or of any background...whatever the child imagines!
