Boston Globe -- "A highly original collection of short stories -- sometimes humorous, sometimes profound." Philadelphia Daily News -- "Seltzer has produced four charming stories for, he suggests, children around the age of nine. Adults will find the book has its appeal too: My favoite story is the one about the little princess who had a nice mother and was very happy and therefore very unhappy because how could Prince Charming come and rescue her if there was nothing to rescue her from?" Richard Seltzer's published works include: "The Name of Hero" (historical novel, Tarcher/Houghton Mifflin), "Ethiopia Through Russian Eyes" (translation from the Russian, Red Sea/Africa World Press), "The Lizard of Oz" (satiric fantasy, B&R Samizdat Express), and "Now and Then and Other Tales from Ome" (children's stories, B&R Samizdat Express), and four books about doing business over the Internet. Now a publisher of book collections on CD and DVD, he worked for Digital/Compaq for 19 years, most recently as "Internet Evangelist." He graduated from Yale, with a major in English, and got an MA from the U. of Mass. at Amherst in Comparative Literature (French, Russian, and German). At Yale, he had creative writing courses with Robert Penn Warren and Joseph Heller.
