This book had me totally mesmerized from beginning to end! I found myself completely wrapped up in its spell as each little tale unfolded. The author takes us on a magical life-learning journey, using `bite size` stories full of gentle humour and wisdom.
The metaphorical tales are genuinely heart-warming, without being sentimental and all convey a spirit of hope and optimism.
David`s unique approach to storytelling had me enthralled. The characters in the book seem to `come alive` and it is easy for readers to relate to their various experiences - some funny, some inspirational and some very touching.
I can see this book being enjoyed by all ages and being used in a variety of different ways. As a professional Therapist and trainer, I would certainly find the stories useful to use with clients, both adults and children alike. But I would take equal pleasure in sharing and discussing the tales with my own family.
In fact, the author himself makes some interesting and creative suggestions in the introduction, as to how the reader might approach the book and make use of this collection of learning tales.
I found this to be an extremely enjoyable, interesting and thought-provoking book, which reminded me of the effectiveness of metaphor and the incredible power of storytelling.
