Wizard Reuben Ashtar, and later, his son Foxglove, attended the Great Homnom School of Wizardry, where the headmasters, in self defense from their odiferous cheese grating, grumbling ways, hastily designated each one in turn, Official Dreadful Noise Controllers, and sent them out into the world to conquer any Dreadful Noises they encountered. It was a position they each held with mostly no degree of success, but one that afforded vast relief from cheese grating and grumbling to the headmasters and other wizardry school students. After many years Wizard Reuben Ashtar retired and after laying about a long while, he decided to build Landoshar, a magic kingdom for children. Wisely, he set aside a part of Landoshar for the Dreadful Noises and put them in it, but everyone knows they are most excellent escape artists, and very good at causing embarrassment. Everything went along as planned until the magic land of Landoshar was almost finished; then Reuben made a doleful discovery! Many of the odorous, cheese grating Dreadful Noises he had chased for many years, mostly without any success, had escaped and were busy scaring away the elves, trolls, fairies, and the other magic beings living in Landoshar! Reuben and Foxglove set out to find the Dreadful Noises and return them to their part of Landoshar, but as we know, most numerous, naughty Dreadful Noises have other plans. Find out what they are up to and where they might strike next on their adventures with Wizard Reuben Ashtar and Foxglove! | The Dreadful Noises of Landoshar by Patsy Stanley, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
