Richland, WA Author Publishes Children's Book

The Magic Bag, a new book by James Watts, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Drawn to Santa's workshop after hours by an irresistible force, Monty Wolfard, the smallest and clumsiest elf in the North Pole, discovers Santa's Magic Bag. From its living guard door, Oscar Oakwood, the little elf learns that it's time for him to begin his "finding" to search for his elfin gifts and charms.

After being outfitted for the trip in enchanted gear, Monty enters the Magic Bag. There he discovers a whole new world which is being destroyed by an evil, fire breathing dragon. He forms a rag-tag army of elves, fairies, gnomes and unicorns to fight the dragon and the quest begins.

Children from ages nine to ninety will love Monty and his band of loyal followers and their adventures. Often humorous and full of spunk, this coming of age fantasy series, The Magic Bag, will touch your heart and tickle your funny bone. It's a classic in the making.
