Uncle Angus' Bedtime Stories was born one afternoon after listing to The Legend of Dedrie on the Thistle and Shamrock show on Oregon Public Broadcasting. In that story, the evil king wins, the evil druid goes unpunished, the hero dies, the hero's brothers die, and the maiden is imprisoned until she commits suicide. Ya just don't get stories like that anymore Perhaps the most interesting part of the story behind this book is the tale of my poor, abused illustrator. Cliff Leubbert is one of the kindest, most caring and understanding men in the world. He dotes on his children and loves his wife completely. Probably because of his innate kindness, I was able to coerce him into drawing these disturbing images. Cliff, you did excellent work on a distasteful job. Thank you. This book had pretty good commercial success. I stopped selling
it when I got tired of printing and binding it.
