Book Description

Fairy tales are escapes into wondrous worlds. It is only our inflexible adult reasoning that tells us that they are just for children. Fables, too, are disdainfully disregarded by grown-ups, in spite of the valuable life lessons that they often provide. It is only yarns and tall tales that are permitted to dwell in the structured world of the adult. I have compiled this collection of silly, inconsequential stories and poems to satisfy the child in any of us that has been handicapped by active imagination, and has been unable to fully embrace the responsible, pedantic adult world. A few of these little stories were written for my children, as they journeyed from childhood, to adolescence to adulthood. I hope that the tales have allowed them to avoid becoming staid grownups. A few of these yarns were written for staid adults. I am glad to say that they, for a few moments anyway, were able to become irresponsible children again. A couple – specifically, the romantic poems – were written for my wife, who I hope will not be terribly upset that I have shared private thoughts with the world. Many were written just for me. No reason, other than that I like being a perpetual child. For those of you who dare to explore wondrous worlds, even if you do so in the secrecy of your own hidden sanctums, I welcome you to my haven. Please enjoy, and thank you

Book Description

Most of the stories here may initially seem to be just ordinary ones for children, but they really are for children of all ages, as the book title suggests. By this, I mean that all of them have deeper ideas or meanings. Some show us how some animals can be much like humans in ways they think, communicate, or show hard work and devotion to different tasks or challenges. Other stories have various humans as the main characters. All through these stories, we see many kinds of challenges and difficulties we all face as humans in our modern world. In several places, stories bring in scientific information or reasoningscience fiction, if you wish. As one proceeds through this sequence of stories some may become more difficult depending on the actual age of the reader or listener. Simply chose the ones that are best for you and leave harder ones for another time. The last story about Apollo is quite brief.
