March 19, 2008 - Press Dispensary - Personalised children’s book publisher, Thorough Publishing Ltd (http://www.thoroughpublishing.co.uk), is launching its latest title ‘Dragon’ to coincide with St George’s Day on 23 April, 2008. Celebrating the best of British, 'Dragon' is based on the 'George and the dragon' folk tale, and is the publisher’s first personalised book written specifically for boys. The boy (the reader or listener) is the star of the story – the prince – and his name, together with his friends’ names and home location, will feature throughout the beautifully illustrated adventure. Phil Rough, director of Thorough Publishing, says: "In ‘Dragon’ we are reclaiming our patron saint for our children in a positive way. The story is non-violent and is independent of race and religion. The prince even finds a way to make the dragon laugh” The book is designed for early readers between two and six years old, and its length makes it perfect for bedtime reading. A special message can be included at the start of the book to mark a birthday, christening or other special occasion, along with the name of the person giving the book, making it an ideal present from parents, god-parents and relatives to their little ‘prince’. Phil adds: “Children’s eyes light up when they hear their own name as the hero, how they have defeated the dragon and helped their friends. And making the child the star of the story empowers the reader and encourages children who may have struggled or had little interest in reading in the past.” Dragon is available through Amazon and all good book shops (ISBN: 9780955391019) or can be personalised online at www.starofthestory.co.uk. Hand and finger puppets depicting the prince, princess and dragon can also be bought from the site. - ends - Notes for editors For further information, please contact: Published for Thorough Publishing Limited by Press Dispensary |
