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.

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 4 year olds and above – as well as adults who longed for more inclusive fairytales when they were children.

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?
