The Gargoyle Who Hated Tourists

By Addison Werner Ward

For centuries, a legendary gargoyle has watched Paris change beneath him from his perch high atop a cathedral tower. Admired by generations yet increasingly irritated by the endless parade of modern tourists, he grows resentful and quietly curious about the world below.

Wry, philosophical, and sharply funny, The Gargoyle Who Hated Tourists is a timeless ironic fable about pride, identity, fame, and the uneasy relationship between being seen and being forgotten.

Originally written as stories for his children, the works of Addison W. Ward (1930-1965), literature professor, writer, and storyteller, were discovered years later and are now published for the first time.
