The Good King Henry stories are written as if the year was about 1750, but the world is one where the Middle Ages never ended. Life was more like the fictionalized one of Mallory's 'The Death of Arthur,' and Ivanhoe was much more real than the Inquisition ever was. The stories are told by an old monk, and he takes his eighteenth century audience to the magical times [for them] of about 1450AD. None of the characters in either time period are based on anyone who actually lived in history. Magic, Chivalry and the occasional Dragon and Ogre just add spice to the stories. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

Please note: Although these stories were written for a young audience to enjoy and contain no adult language or sexual situations; a few of the stories deal with mature subject matters such as death, sorrow, and grieving, and these therefor may not be suitable for some children in the younger age groups.

Thank you.
