Troggs & Doogles in Thistledom

The short story that started it all, has been reprinted as a second edition! This short adventure by John W. LaCroix written thirty years ago introduced the Nobby character, as well as the fearsome troggs and doogles.

The setting is at Christmas time when Princess Emily hosts a party for her cousins in Le Grande Chateau Castle. Great uncle, Lord Norbert, drops by for a surprise visit and tells a story that unwittingly would set the stage for the entire new Thistledom series that begins with volume I, Thistledom: A Kingdom is Born. Though no longer directly related to the series by the story line, Troggs & Doogles in Thistledom is a great primer for 2nd and 3rd graders who are anxiously waiting to learn so much more about the amazing history of the Nobby Kingdom of Thistledom hidden somewhere in the land of the Mitten.

Presented by Saint Paul's Press, LLC, this is the first Children's short story written by author John LaCroix.
