The Return of Oberon
The dictionary describes fairies as “an imaginary being in human form”. Obviously, whoever wrote this has never seen one.
I first saw a fairy many years ago when I was looking for fireflies at the bottom of my garden.
It was Autumn and it was getting dark. I was out with my butterfly net. I had seen fireflies before, but tonight they were flying all over the garden and high into a hawthorn tree.
I tried a few times and missed, but as one settled down, I trapped it in my net. I bent down to look and what I saw surprised me: it was a tiny human figure with wings. I had caught a fairy.
It was a beautiful thing; it wore a sort of gown of silver, and she had upon her head a silver crown. I had hit the jackpot, but as I started to think about what I should do with it, many more fairies buzzed around my head and I could hear their little voices calling, “Please let our queen go.” I just lifted the net off the ground—I don’t know why—and off she flew, but only as far as my head. She smiled and said, “Thank you; my name is Titania.” As she flew away, I was surrounded by fairies who shot balls of light at me, laughing as they did so. I will never forget it. Fairies are not real? I think you will find they are.

Descend into Darkness
This book is written purely from my own experience. Everything described within these pages truly happened.
Please understand: I am not a doctor, psychologist, or mental health professional. I’m just an ordinary man who struggles through life, like so many others. It was these very struggles that compelled me to write for you. Be aware: the content is dark—hence the title. I created this book as a form of relief, to ease my conscience, sharing sensitive information not even my closest family knows. For years, I wrestled with whether it was better to keep it all secret.
By sharing my story of twelve years’ suffering from depression, I hope to help others better understand the invisible battles their friend, parent, or child might be fighting—battles you may know nothing about because they’re too afraid to speak. And believe me, I understand. Talking about it is the hardest thing EVER.
Everyone faces dark times, some deeper than others, but we must not let that darkness dictate our lives. In this intense yet ultimately hopeful account, I’ll be your guide. As we walk through my lowest points, I’ll share the insights and tools that helped me face my depression. Regaining my mental health has been—and remains—a long, bumpy road. The crucial question is: HOW do we navigate it? If this book helps you even just a little… then sharing my story was worth it.

Humanity
There have been many hundreds of books written about humanity from ancient times to the present day, trying to describe and understand who we are in relationship to each other and the universe in which we find ourselves. Many involve asking such questions as: Is there such an entity as God? Is there such a thing as human nature? Do we have free will? What is the best type of economy and society?
Quite a few of the authors claim to have found the answers and attempted to get their solutions accepted. If resisted, they, or their followers, have often resorted to imposing their worldviews by force. As the title suggests: this is not one of them. It is not written to persuade you to adopt any belief system or ideology. What has been attempted is to provide a comprehensive coverage of what has so far been suggested, an overview that has not appeared before, and which is aimed at giving you a range of information on which to form your own considered view on such matters.
It is also written at a time of great and accelerating change, one in which technology is being used to create virtual realities and artificial intelligences, and even new kinds of humans. And one in which, some believe, we are in the process of destroying the very environment that sustains us. The book has been written to assist understanding and is dedicated to the author’s grandchildren.
