King Derek and the Green Wizard Released today

Feb. 9, 2013 - PRLog -- ‘King Derek and the Green Wizard’, the second in the series, has just been released.

The series is about King Derek of Dudley, who seems to get himself into all sorts of sticky situations, and how his long suffering wife, Queen Queenie, is always coming to the rescue.

There is a moral to each story to be enjoyed by both children and adults alike, and to compliment an already engaging writing style and story line by author Andy Dale, there are superb illustrations by Gary Dillon from Dillon Art Illustration and Graphic Design.

The first in the Series “King Derek and the Purple Wizard” was published in time for Christmas and has been “flying” off the digital and print shelves.

‘King Derek and the Purple Wizard’ Reviews

"Read it again, read it again!" “We all know that feeling when your child begs for yet another reading of the same book, but with King Derek I can genuinely say that I wouldn't mind reading it time and again. This is a simple story with an important lesson and one that applies to both children and adults! Self-esteem is an important issue no matter what your age and if a child grows up feeling self-conscious and unhappy with the way they look, then it may well affect them in later life. King Derek's experience is a smooth reminder that there are much more important things in life than appearance and, with a little help from Preston the Purple Wizard, we also learn that everything comes at a cost.

Dale writes with an engaging and jovial style, drawing you in from the start. Several times throughout the story I couldn't help but burst out laughing. The illustrations are perfect for the story and together they make a tale that you'll want to come back to over and over again. It is suitable for a wide range of ages and I have no doubt that children will fall in love with King Derek and his beautiful wife. I would also be very surprised if any adult can read it without it bringing a smile to their face!”

“A hit with the kids. And I don't mind reading it every night. The pictures are exceptional and the writing style is funny. King Derek is a definite character. Can't wait for more in the series.”

“Great Story. Funny and superb moral. Well done. My three girls loved King Derek. Doris is still saying 'Hedgehog' at the end of each line. Great pictures too.”
