One of the many exciting projects that we have been working on here at Starship Sloane Publishing is the dual-language children’s picture book King of the Condors: El Rey de Los Cóndores.
I’m happy to announce that the book is now available, published under our imprint, Wild Man of the Woods Press!

With Spanish translation by Ana Ximena Cardoso Montero, King of the Condors: El Rey de Los Cóndores is written in the style of a traditional folktale. The story first appeared in the Southern Cross Review (2004), a literary journal published in Argentina.
This original story is about a child who wanders away from his village during a terrible blizzard in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador, not to be seen again until many years later, riding atop a magnificent condor and bearing gifts of sustenance for the villagers.
Bringing this story to life is the utterly exquisite and sumptuous artwork of Stephanie Suter, a splendidly talented and accomplished Swiss artist who lives in Cuenca, Ecuador.
Stephanie works in multiple mediums and is deeply immersed in the outrageously vibrant arts and culture of Cuenca, Ecuador’s third-largest city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Spanish Colonial architecture and ancient Inca ruins exist side by side in a city that is sometimes called the Athens of the Andes and the City of Cathedrals.
King of the Condors is a beautiful and durable work of art in book form, as all books should aspire to be — especially children’s picture books. In a square book format for optimal presentation of Stephanie’s exceptional ink on silk illustrations, with a glossy hardcover and published on 70lb premium color paper, this book emphasizes the highest aesthetics of artistic quality in its production.
