After five hundred and two years of living UP on top of an ancient cathedral in the middle of a metropolitan city, Garry The Gargoyle decides it’s time to explore the world of DOWN. But being DOWN instead of UP isn’t what Garry imagined it would be! The bustling town of Shamlaigh is full of harrowing challenges, including encountering a giant pony-dog, hurtling transports, a moggy cat, and scary bug people. Eventually Garry finds refuge in the Garden of Friends, where his enchanting and gripping tales of times long ago come to life.
This is Garry's first big adventure that changes his life forever!

A little background. . .

​
Garry:
Derived from the medieval name Garrett, meaning hard or bold spear. Mythological character traits for the name Garrett include: bold, sturdy, solid, curious, imaginative, adaptable, introspective, averse to restriction, and possessing a strong sense of duty. Those with the name Garrett may be nervous and seek peace and harmony. They crave the love of family and friends.
 
Gargoyle: Middle English term derived from the Old French word gargouille, which means throat. The name Gargoyle evolved from the French Legend of Gargouille, the origin story of gargoyles. A version of this mythical tale is shared within this book. 
 
Shamlaigh: The fictitious town featured in this story. Shamlaigh (Sham-lay) is a variation of the Irish Gaelic word, Samhlaigh, meaning imagination. This name was not only chosen due to its befitting meaning but also in honor of the creator of Garry The Gargoyle, Mary Christenson Wyman, who appreciated her strong Irish heritage and held a deep love of the culture.
