About this title

About the Author:

Uncle Ted originally wrote this story as a Christmas present for his nephew Andrew. At the time, Andrew loved airplanes and enjoyed playing with Midas, Uncle Ted's real life Golden Retriever, so Uncle Ted wrote a story about the two. But looking at a couple of sheets of typed paper did not seem like a really fun present, especially since Andrew did not know how to read at the time. Uncle Ted decided to add some pictures to his story. One year later and many cartooning books having been studied, Uncle Ted created Midas and the rest of the characters of Golden Oaks Ranch.

After seeing the first draft that Uncle Ted created with all the characters, a friend suggested that Uncle Ted publish the book. With encouragement from friends and family, Uncle Ted decided to create a book for all kids to enjoy and decided to involve a professional illustrator. Through good luck and fortune, Uncle Ted met Eddie Young. Eddie fell in love with the project at the very first meeting. It is evident in the illustrations of this book, as Eddie really brought Midas and the rest of the characters to life.

After two long years, Andrew finally got his Christmas present!
