The Story of Bendalot Michael Rosenberg

I have always been interested in fantasy tales particularly as seen through the eyes of chidren whose imaginations can run wild and untainted by adult experiences. This story came into my mind sometime ago after meeting Uri Geller who claims to be able to bend metal(I believe him). But it took many years to evolve and really became a reality as I began to enjoy the arrival of grandchildren in my family. It is a story of adventures and discoveries as experienced by two young children aged 8 called Handi and Sandi who come from a village high in the mountains somewhere in Eastern Europe which has had no contact before with the outside world. I intend it to be the first of at least two stories and maybe three. As a first time author it is amazing how the story writes itself once the characters begin to develop. Frankly I have no idea what adventures my characters will enjoy but in a way that is a reflection of my own life as well which has been totally unstructured. The mysteries of the world and the beauty of nature are all intended to be reflected in the journeys of my characters, Sandi and Handi and their new friend Brunflor.
