Robert Stanek has been called a modern day Tolkien, and his books have been called Star Wars with Elves. "A prolific non-fiction writer, Stanek's focus on instruction influences his fiction with a penchant for clear and simple prose. He also prefers swift, action-oriented scenes. Solidly built." -- Foreword Magazine. "This wonderful adventure reminds me of a cross between J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, Tad Williams, and C. S. Lewis."

Very satisfying." -- The Fantasy Guide "Recommended series."-- Ancient Art of Faery Magick "Stanek augments the beginning of this complex tale with illustrations that are sure to attract fans of graphic novels and classic Tolkien alike." -- VOYA - the leading magazine for YA librarians.

Writing as Robert Stanek, he was the first breakout author of the digital publishing revolution. Writing as William Stanek, he is credited with transforming the computer writing industry with his plain language style. A style that Microsoft eventually adopted for its own. Millions of training courses taught by Microsoft and others around the world used his words as their foundations to teach hundreds of millions new techniques, new technologies and new vocational skills. The Bugville stories were written to represent the diverse peoples of our world. Mr. Stanek wrote the books as bedtime stories for his own children because they weren't represented in picture books. He wrote the books to show everything he wanted to see in the world and everything he wanted them to see in the world. And he wanted children everywhere to discover a love for the natural world around us. Mr. Stanek illustrates using watercolors to create beautiful, vibrant scenes full of wonderful color.
