Wrinkled Crinkled Grapes: A Purple Monster
Wrinkled Crinkled Grapes takes the reader to a land where monsters roam and sorcerers scheme. It is a tale of a charming young man who longs to leave his life of hardship on a small farm for a life of comfort in the royal court. When the king proclaims that any man may try for the hand of his daughter by attempting two challenges, the young man takes the opportunity. The first challenge is to get special grapes from an orchard guarded by a horrible purple monster. To insure success, the young man seeks the aid of an old sorcerer, but in doing so makes a promise that he cannot keep. The second challenge is one of wit and less of bravery. The young man must find a way to cook the special grapes in the king’s beloved bread. He is stumped as his charms cannot help him, but luckily he stumbles upon a solution. You will learn of the young man’s adventures and the lesson he learns. He strives for riches, but discovers true happiness comes from other means.

Customer Review: A Delightful Read…
(In the interest of full disclosure, yes, I am dating the author’s daughter…)

Well, my girlfriend went out of town for the weekend and I had to take care of the cats, and as I was petting Mabel & Milo (the cats) there it was sitting on the table looking at me… The book with the Purple Monster on the cover. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to take a quick look. Well, an hour later I had devoured it cover to cover, and it was in fact quite delightful! At first read one could blow it off as a nice little children’s story, but with further reflection one realizes that it is a story with a few key life lessons which we should all internalize. I think most children would find it a good read as it combines magic and wizardry with love, romance and danger! I would consider it a cross between Harry Potter and Dr. Seuss. A perfect book to read on one’s way to Grandma’s house.

Customer Review: One of the best Children’s book written
We have enjoyed reading this wonderful children’s book and would highly recommend it. Great reading, fun story, and wonderfully written. I have purchased many copies and intend to give them to all the children in our family.
