How and why bestselling children's author Strawberry Shakespeare transformed an all-but forgotten, nearly one hundred year old children's story into a modern day bestseller.
When bestselling children's author Strawberry Shakespeare stumbled upon "The Boy Who Rode into the Sunset," a children's short story classic written nearly one hundred years ago, she promptly fell in love with it. Not only was it utterly charming and imaginative, but it also featured her favorite thing, horses! Furthermore, the story reminded her so much of the Antoine Saint-Exupery perennial, "The Little Prince," that she was determined to give it the widest possible audience, feeling certain that kids and grown-ups alike would love it as much as she did.
Shakespeare brought the story to Diamond Star Press with the goal of making it accessible to modern readers. She divided the story into eight cliffhanger chapters that are guaranteed to keep your kid turning the pages, and created a beautiful book cover, a new story title and a kid-friendly chapter on the life and times of its original author, C. J. Dennis. Shakespeare further penned several of her own mystical and inspiring short stories for this collection.
The resulting new children's book by Strawberry Shakespeare, "THE CLOUD HORSE: Short Fiction for Kids," has been a resounding success. From the title story, "The Cloud Horse," about a boy who is whisked away on the back of a flying horse, to Strawberry Shakespeare's own enchanting tales, "White Fire" and "The Appaloosa Colt," to the humorous bonus selection from her bestselling debut novel, "Saving Bluestone Belle," this book will surprise and delight you and your child.
THE CLOUD HORSE makes a perfect holiday gift for your child and is available on Amazon.com in two exciting formats: paperback and Kindle edition. It is also available as a Nook Book on BarnesandNoble.com.
