"Take me with you, please." is a plea for help, Frank Washington cannot refuse. The last thing he needs is a passenger in his full mailbag, especially a lost leprechaun he has rescued from a snowball.

Ho Jolly wanted moonbeams to add sparkle to his new clothes. The moon objected and the fairy king banished the wayward elf whose good intentions never turn out right to another world.

Cookie, a white dog, joins Frank and Ho to deliver the mail. They will lighten you heart with laughter as Frank struggles to keep a rein on his fellow travelers. Despite his efforts; Ho translates "no" to "yes, if no one is looking."

Frank and Cookie are in for a stunning surpise on this magical night.



Travelers is a book you will want to give your friends and keep on your shelf at home to read not only at Christmas, but any time during the year when you want your spirits lifted. The beautiful illustrations by Genevieve Wilson implant the characters in your heart.

-Roberta Simpson Brown, Middletown, KY, Author and Storyteller.

Travelers is a delightful blending of charm and imagination. It's the kind of book everyone should have the opportunity of enjoying more often. I read it twice so as to not miss a drop!

-Carol Anderson, Darthmont, Nova Scotia, Canada.



 
"The snowball kept getting bigger and going faster, till you kicked me! Wait a minute, you said, 'from Ireland.' Where am I?"
"United State of America."
"Never heard of it."
"Don't blame me for your miserable knowledge of geography."
Holding up tiny fingers, Ho Jolly began to count. "There are Gaul, Flanders, Wales, and. . . ."
Frank lost his patience and snapped. "Those are in history books. This is a real county. It's on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean---has been since 1779."
"It's 1279! I saw the priest mark the stick."
"I haven't time to argue with you. I'm late making my deliveries. It isn't 1279. It's 1979 and you're in Brewster County, Kentucky, which doesn't have leprechauns."
"This isn't Ireland? Did the Vikings capture me?"
"Vikings? What would they want with you? I can't waste any more time. I'm sorry you're lost, but I've got to complete my rounds."
"You aren't going to leave me here, stranded?" bellowed the beligerent leprechaun, "In a place I never heard of."
"What am I supposed to do with someone that exists only in fairy tales?"
