Preface
Back in the days of yore, between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, a wizard named Lear lived in the beautiful land of Ireland. His life was unusual and full of trials. The majestic Lear was imprisoned by Queen Serlaila, who longed to use his unique magical abilities to conquer new lands. Lear repeatedly saved the queen from insidious plots, predicting her future and helping her overcome her difficulties.
However, few people knew that the wizard Lear found his writing vocation by accident. Tormented by boredom and a thirst for creativity, he decided to write fairy tales inspired by letters sent to him by his beloved Miretta. In these letters she told him of her adventures and her search for magic, dreaming of a reunion with Lear.
One day Queen Serlaila read some of these tales and, admiring their beauty, decreed that Lear must compose two tales a week. Otherwise, she threatened to deprive the wizard of a finger for each tale that failed to meet the deadline. Incredibly, Miretta, this brave and dedicated soul, spent nearly fifteen years traveling, exploring the world and gathering inspiration for new stories of magic. She hoped that one day she would be able to reunite with her beloved Lear and give him her own amazing stories.
So begins our story of the wizard Lear, his magical abilities, his creative path and the great love that overcomes time and obstacles. Immerse yourself in the world of magic and fairytale adventures that await us on the pages of this book.
Tales of the Wizard Lyr: Slippoon and the Blanket Kingdom
There are thousands of reasons in the world why we put off sleep, even knowing that in the morning we will regret our choice. This problem is especially true for parents of little wizards. They are ready for the most incredible deals, only if their children finally agreed to sleep. And the children, of course, took advantage of this. They know that in the family they have a special power and are able to blackmail the parents, forcing them to fulfill all new demands, even when the parents are already exhausted from the day.
The most popular demand, by far, is asking them to tell a story or sing a lullaby before bedtime. And so, with half-open eyes, moms and dads, exhausted from the day, are forced to read stories of others' adventures, interesting journeys, talking animals and those in trouble with wit and purpose.
