THE BATTLE FOR GILOH



In the course of scribing and illustrating her now famous journal, The Trowbridge Chronicles, Mrs. Trowbridge found time to write and illustrate stories in her own unique voice. We would now call them graphic novels. One of my favorites is a story based on ancient Trowbridge legend. It's called The Legend of Shrew Khan. You may scroll down until you reach the beginning of the Shrew Khan story if you like.

Stay tuned for the next episode of Mrs. Trowbridge's graphic novel, The Legend of Shrew Khan, coming soon.
