Their story, akin to the dramatic arcs of a British soap opera, unfolds with tragic twists and turns, an unceasing cascade of events that would seem overdrawn if not for their stark reality. These challenges, though uninvited and not of their own making, are met with a resilience that speaks to the profound sense of duty and unwavering compassion inherent in parental love. It’s a testament to the silent oath etched in the very fabric of biological bonds, a commitment to defend, sometimes even the indefensible, against the odds, all told with a humourous look back at life events faced by the family.

Rebirth
Picture a social misfit who has stumbled through life, making every conceivable mistake along the way. Despite his best efforts to find stability and understanding in a world that seemed to elude him, he remained stubborn and uncompromising, clinging to a deep-seated attitude of non-conformity. His headspace had no room for compromise, and as a result, he had never experienced a meaningful relationship of any kind. But unbeknownst to him, there were people working on him – not professionals, religious figures, or members of a sect – but ordinary individuals with caring hearts who must have taken pity on him. They never gave up on him, even when he gave them no reason to continue.These compassionate souls never sought gratitude or anything in return, and the dropout never offered it. Yet, he kept returning to them, knowing deep down that they were his only chance at redemption. He understood that they were always a few steps ahead, and he was constantly playing catch-up. Just when he thought he had nearly caught up, they would present him with a new challenge, leaving him frustrated at times. But it was a game he grew to love, and sometimes, when he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, he found himself smiling – a rare occurrence in his life. He knew that these people were catalysts for the necessary changes within him, and he embraced the journey, learning about love and the warm feeling it ignited in his chest.

Folk Tales of Old Europe
Be transported from the limestone caves of Slovenia to the coast of Norway, and from French salt pans to a village in Poland. John Weeks retells nine folk tales, each one set in a different country of Europe. They introduce the reader to an Irish weaver, to Scottish fishermen and to a Jewish dealer in violins. The stories share the familiar narrative features of folk tales all over the world – quests undertaken, wicked plots thwarted, mysteries revealed and kindness rewarded. Many of the familiar characters are there – trolls, an ogre and a cheating miller. But have you ever wondered what the characters in folk tales ate and drank? When not adventuring what work did they do to support themselves? What did they believe? As they journeyed what sort of landscapes did they cross? In his retellings John Weeks answers some of those questions. Each tale is grounded in a real landscape, with the features and the creatures distinctive to it. Something of the culture of each country is shown, so the reader will encounter the rivalries of tribal chiefs, piracy preying upon merchant shipping, and the poverty of feudal peasantry. Local ways of life are depicted, showing, for example, trade in amber, peat cutting and salt production. The tales are peopled by folk who embrace Christianity, by Jewish people and by those who acknowledge pagan spirits and Celtic deities. In notes to each of the tales the author briefly explains details, where necessary, and he refers to the sources, both literary and oral, which lie behind the stories. The result is a collection of tales richly contextualised to present a picture of Europe not in one era, but in an unspecified, distant past, a Europe at a time before modernity dulled the sparkle of its magic.
