One of them — a dog named Frodo — has found himself the titular character in a pair of children’s books, and the author of those books will be making the trip to Lawrence later this week. Brian Paul Cross, the author of the “King Froderick” book series, will be selling and signing copies of his books at the Raven Book Store Friday afternoon. . .”
