Once upon a time, there was a lonely sailor, and a magical dog who needed his help...

"Once upon a time, there was a kingdom full of happiness and laughter. The king and his family were kind, and all the people were content. All, that is, but one..."

Discover the timeless, long-forgotten fairytale of a handsome prince and a poor sailor who set sail across the high seas on the adventure of a lifetime.

When Ruan leaves behind his life as a tailor's apprentice and becomes a cabin boy aboard a ship, he soon learns that the ocean is a dangerous place... facing storms, monsters, and the darkest of magic. In his quest to help a talking dog and defeat an evil princess, can Ruan stay afloat?

Everyone deserves a shot at happily-ever-after.

Lost for centuries, The Dog and the Sailor has been brought back to life with vibrant illustrations. A reminder that LGBTQ+ heroes have always existed in stories, this magical folk tale is the perfect gift for readers young and old.
