What if a single act of kindness could be more powerful than all the money in the world? What if you are so much more than just mud and sea water, seasoned with a hint of consciousness? What if you are special and unique but no more special or unique than anyone else? What if all that you can see isn''t all there is to be seen? What if courage comes in more forms than society cares to admit? What if the most powerful force in the Universe is Love? What if Love really doesn''t give a damn who you love? What if success isn''t actually defined by how much shiny bling you own? What if difference is a profound strength rather than something to be mocked? What if real friends are flesh and blood, not social media profiles? What if you''re defined not by race or colour, gender or sexuality, religion or belief but simply by your shared humanity. What if this life is but one step in a much longer journey? What if somewhere in the Universe there is a world parallel to this one - lets call it Anywhere - that is very, very much like the one you''re in now except that in this parallel world magic still exists? Because magic can happen in the most ordinary of places - and so can evil. Welcome to Anywhere. What will YOU discover? 24 incredible tales from Anywhere. WHAT CRITICS SAY: "Brilliant comic technique, and a glorious sense of moral outrage at the current mess in which our country seems mired, combine here to make a unique reading experience. Often laugh-out-loud funny, the real-life characters behind these innocuous fairy tales and fables hit you by surprise, a series of sharp rocks hidden in those snowballs. - VINE VOICE "The most spiritually and intellectually worthwhile and inspiring read I''ve read in a very long time....To me it is a humanist masterpiece on par with Faulkner, Lawrence and Bellow. It subverts conventional morals and doctrines while anchoring the plot development and the characters upon authentic virtues, Intuitive Knowledge and Intuitive Truth. Hennerley speaks Truth in this world of lies that shackle us from birth and asphyxiate us into death, all the while conspiring against our very vitality of the spirit." - US REVIEWS WHAT READERS SAY: "The best book I have read since The Book Thief .The author is a storyteller rather than simply telling stories. There are a lot of authors out there but not many storytellers. My favorite story involved a dachshund and her search for a missing shoe. The imagery was so good I could picture how the story as a cartoon or film." ★★★★★ "I really enjoyed this book, very unusual moving stories that can move you to tears. Brilliant." ★★★★★ "Touched my heart. Stories full of love, hope, and accepting woven beautifully with whimsy. I couldn''t put this book down nor did I want to." ★★★★★ "One of the best books I''ve read in Damn near forever! I feel like re-evaluating ever book I''ve ever rated or adding more stars to show how outstanding it truly is...but sadly it is over and I must wait for another book as nurturing to my spirit." ★★★★★ "I loved this book. The writing style reminds me of Tanith Lee''s "Tales from The Flat Earth"...Yes, it''s a collection of tales, but so much more than what is on the surface. It''s a reminder we don''t have to stoop to the level of the powerful one percent. Humanity can prevail with decency and kindness. While it relates the ugliness in the world today, it also offers hope and love." ★★★★★ "Should be on everyone''s must read list! Thank you, Mr. Hennerley." ★★★★★

Once upon a time...about now in fact, in a busy and bustling town somewhere in Anywhere, on the same day and the same time, an old woman lay dying and a baby girl was about to be born. The old woman felt all that was Familiar and Warm and Known slipping away from her and she felt great fear - she was being drawn down a dark tunnel leading to somewhere she didn''t want to go. Powerless to resist she traveled down that tunnel, further and further away from the Known, ever nearer to the Unknown. Her fear grew and grew until before her she suddenly saw a Light At The End Of The Tunnel - and that light seemed so warm and welcoming, exciting and enticing that her fear completely evaporated; the Unknown suddenly seemed so much more exciting and interesting than the Known that, instead of resisting her passage down that strange tunnel, she pushed and scrambled her way onwards to the light to emerge, kicking and screaming with hopeful anticipation, into a New Day. And at the opposite end of that same town... The baby girl felt all that was Familiar and Warm and Known slipping away from her and she felt great fear - she was being drawn down a dark tunnel leading to somewhere she didn''t want to go. Powerless to resist she traveled down that tunnel, further and further away from the Known, ever nearer to the Unknown. Her fear grew and grew until before her she suddenly saw a Light At The End Of The Tunnel - and that light seemed so warm and welcoming, exciting and enticing that her fear completely evaporated; the Unknown suddenly seemed so much more exciting and interesting than the Known that, instead of resisting her passage down that strange tunnel, she pushed and scrambled her way onwards to the light to emerge, kicking and screaming with hopeful anticipation, into a New Day. AND SO IT GOES ON... Welcome to Anywhere. Enjoy your stay! 28 Tales from and inspired by the fantastical, magical, mythical Land of Anywhere - a place very different from, yet disturbingly similar to, where you live now. WHAT THE CRITICS SAY "A unique reading experience. The real-life characters behind these innocuous fairy tales and fables hit you by surprise, a series of sharp rocks hidden in those snowballs. Amazingly, with all the faux-naievete and children''s book elements gleefully displayed here, the writing never becomes twee or condescending.

Tales from the Sephardic Dispersion begins the most important collection of Jewish folktales ever published. It is the first volume in Folktales of the Jews, the five-volume series to be released over the next several years, in the tradition of Louis Ginzberg's classic, Legends of the Jews. The 71 tales here and the others in this series have been selected from the Israel Folktale Archives, Named in Honor of Dov Noy, The University of Haifa (IFA), a treasure house of Jewish lore that has remained largely unavailable to the entire world until now. Since the creation of the State of Israel, the IFA has collected more than 20,000 tales from newly arrived immigrants, long-lost stories shared by their families from around the world. The tales come from the major ethno-linguistic communities of the Jewish world and are representative of a wide variety of subjects and motifs, especially rich in Jewish content and context. Each of the tales is accompanied by in-depth commentary that explains the tale's cultural, historical, and literary background and its similarity to other tales in the IFA collection, and extensive scholarly notes. There is also an introduction that describes the Sephardic culture and its folk narrative tradition, a world map of the areas covered, illustrations, biographies of the collectors and narrators, tale type and motif indexes, a subject index, and a comprehensive bibliography. Until the establishment of the IFA, we had had only limited access to the wide range of Jewish folk narratives. Even in Israel, the gathering place of the most wide-ranging cross-section of world Jewry, these folktales have remained largely unknown. Many of the communities no longer exist as cohesive societies in their representative lands; the Holocaust, migration, and changes in living styles have made the continuation of these tales impossible. This volume and the others to come will be monuments to a rich but vanishing oral tradition.

An anthology edition of the first four stories of The Lesser Evil, including two not previously available to purchase. Only One Death: If he does not find a way to save them, Dhinal knows his people will die. Every single one of them. Dust & Death: In a land of dust, there are some things best left buried, horrors and secrets which go far beyond fear — testing the very sanity itself. Death & Taxes: A teenage assassin and the uncle who trained her, a trio of backstabbing killers, and a man Merie knows for a fact wants her dead. And that’s just the people she works with. A Clean Death: An assassin, her apprentice, and one final murder. A city where it is law to wear a mask in public. And someone — or something — hiding in the shadows. Something which wants them to fail. Fatally. A forthcoming epic fantasy trilogy, The Lesser Evil begins with a series of introductory back-stories: The Tales of The Lesser Evil. Each of these Tales introduces characters, places, themes and concepts which will form the heart of the coming trilogy. Think of each as a prequel, or a movement in an ongoing symphony of story.
