The Forgotten King
Katherine Ford
Perfect Paperback
(Tate Publishing, Aug. 17, 2010)
Marty prayed in a very soft voice As his great-grandfather did long ago He prayed for a reason to rejoice And said, 'I need a great miracle, I know.' Harvestown is in trouble. Every year, they pick their unique golden harvest and bake and cook and decorate, preparing for their annual festival. All the sweets, treats, and delights are great, but what do they mean? Every year they celebrate, but now they cannot remember why, and that's not their only problem. The trees of golden fruit, for which the town is famous, have all wilted, leaving Harvestown without a way to survive or celebrate. But what are they celebrating anyway? Marty wants to know. When he goes in search of answers and a way to save his beloved town, Marty's prayer is met by an angel who shares a most unusual story. Author Katherine Ford's new Christmas classic, The Forgotten King, brings home the reason for the season in a child-friendly tale with whimsical poetry and fascinating characters.
