FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New children’s book “The Very First Amazing Adventure of Griswold & Christophe” by Christian Bjone is released, a modern fairy tale about enchanted toys and the values of kindness and bravery 

“The Very First Amazing Adventure of Griswold & Christophe” by Christian Bjone has been released worldwide. This 118-page book of delightful illustrations and epic poetry-like storytelling is a modern fairy tale that draws from classic storytelling and universal themes of bravery, generosity, and caring for others. The magical and imaginative story, based on the ancient tale of Gilgamesh, follows a pair of enchanted toys as they embark on an adventure to defeat an evil ogre and reclaim the Queen’s Castle.

As the pair, a toy soldier named Christophe and a teddy bear named Griswold, traverse fantastical lands and encounter helpful new friends, they must use their imaginations, face their fears, and lean on one another to complete their journey. They acquire mystical artifacts, solve puzzles, and face obstacles on their path to the Queen’s Castle, learning valuable lessons and exploring diverse landscapes along the way. Throughout their epic journey, they see that love and bravery are they keys to their success.

With beautiful illustrations, including maps for each of the regions that Griwold and Christophe travel through, and a colorful cast of characters, Bjone creates a vivid world of mystery and magic. Descriptive stanzas about each area (by day and by night) further build this wonderful world, and each new character provides deeper details about the nature of the lands they inhabit. 

A lifelong artist and professional architect, the author has a passion for drawing and storytelling. He has written and published five previous books on art and architecture. This is his first children’s book, with a sequel already in the works.

Moving between adventures, challenges, dreams, and stories within stories, Bjone draws readers into a rich narrative tapestry that parents, kids, and young adults can all enjoy.

The Very First Amazing Adventure of Griswold & Christophe (ISBN: 9781963844399) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Barnes and Noble and Amazon. The paperback retails for $19.99, and the ebook retails for $4.99. Review copies and interviews are available upon request.
