'Twas the Fourth Night before Christmas (Modern Myth) [Kindle Edition]

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

There are creatures and customs that pass on from generation to generation but have no back-story: Who is the Easter Bunny? Where is he from? Why does he hide eggs in our yards? What about this tooth fairy person? What does he want with all these teeth anyway? These are just some of the questions answered in the "Modern Myth" series.

The series begins with "The Fourth Night before Christmas." Gargog, the wickedest dragon of all (but certainly not the smartest) launches a diabolical scheme to destroy the countryside and stop Christmas forever. The only one who has a chance to stop the evil scheme is a timid hare who would rather mind his own business. Can a tiny hare muster the courage to foil the wicked plans of Gargog the dragon, or will he betray Santa to save his own furry skin?

From the Author

The original story was written about twenty years ago.  My aunt was being given a stuffed toy rabbit as a gift. My mom wanted a story to go with it.  "The Fourth Night before Christmas" and the "Modern Myth" series grew from there.

More About the Author

Jason began writing in college some twenty years ago. A strong interest in fantasy and adventure led him to explore the children's genre. Children's stories are by far the most "fun" for him to write. Jason and his loving, extremely patient, wife have three children and two grandchildren. Other members of the family include a demanding feline and an eighty pound yellow lab that thinks he is a lap puppy. They live in a small town in Southern Indiana where Jason owns a business and serves as director of the local community foundation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read book for parents to share with their children!, November 18, 2011

Twas' The Fourth Night of Christmas is a holiday book to read.

This story uses animals a fierce dragon and a gentle hare to show how good wins over evil.

It's easy to read and one that parents will love sharing with their children.

I enjoyed the author using the Winter Solstice and Christmas together. The solstice touches on the evil of the darkness during that time of year in which the longest day occurred. The season of Christmas brings light and safety to people as the days become longer.

I thought using a hare was great. He knew what had to be done and went about doing it no matter the cost. The moral of good overcoming evil is shown extremely well in this story.

My five-year-old great nephew as well as older children I shared this story with loved it.

Jason Jones is a unique writer and I am looking forward to more of his stories.

This book was so interesting, my children wouldn't put it down. My entire family really enjoyed it! It just may become a holiday tradition. My 9 year old son read it again, sneaking to read by his night light. He simply couldn't get it read quick enuff. It was a real page turner!
