The Pen & The Sword

by Salvatore Girgente

Overview

The story of a powerful Samurai who abuses his authority and is defeated by something that seems so powerless - the writings of a pen.

The book consists of a micro-story that parents will identify with and find amusing while the main story will introduce the young reader to words and concepts that are defined in the glossary thus avoiding added reference sources.

The goal of the book is to teach children that, unlike the encouragement of our popular culture, it may not be the best choice to strive for power and wealth.
