The Polish Boy And The Pope, (Paperback)

In 1978 I was struck by the new Pope - John Paul II seemed like a good guy. <p>So I wrote this story, got my dear friend Jack Oliver to do illustrations and printed up a few little booklets to give to friends and fans. All thousand disappeared in minutes. </p><p>I sent some copies to the Vatican, since the Pope was a living human being, and I felt certain he would like it and hoped he would not object to a fictional story composed entirely in my imagination. </p><p>To my surprise I got back a beautiful letter - from his assistant but dictated by John Paul, saying he loved the story and the illustrations and sending his blessings and love to me, my family and my friends. </p><p>Many years later we see the last Pope Francis, who struck me as a fine and decent man, pass away.<br>I thought the time was right to print up the short story again.<br>Dedicated to both Popes - here it is. I hope you enjoy it. </p><p>Kenneth (Jonathan) King<br>April 2025</p>
