Howard the Wizard: and the Hagleville Pandemic

by Haley Richardson Argyle, Mark the Great Richardson, Mark the Great Richardson

Howard the Wizard is a children's book about a little town of "Hagles" that are facing a terrible pandemic. It was written by my father over 20 years ago, but has a message that ironically feels written for 2020/2021. Writing, illustrating and publishing children's books was a goal of his. Sadly Mark passed away in 2009 of a sudden heart attack. I'm very excited as his daughter, to believe in his dreams like he believed in mine. For father's day this year, I had Howard the Wizard professionally edited, illustrated and published. The bulk of the profits go to my mother. Enjoy, and move forward loving those with different viewpoints from your own, and gather more information before you hurl your figurative "dynamite".

*NOTE FROM THE ILLUSTRATOR/ PUBLISHER: This is the first book I published. There is a missing period at the end of the book, and the image quality of my dads original drawings as watermarks at the front are pixilated. This was a labor of love for him and a great learning experience for me. At this point of my life, I'm not able to go back and fix these mistakes, but I'm keeping it available on Amazon for those that loved my dad, and want to enjoy this timeless message.

Exert from book:

The Hagles got worse as each day went by.
They thought, without help, that they all might die.
The town was snowed in from a terrible blizzard,
and no one, it seemed, thought of Howard the Wizard.
