Fables for Adults - Anyone who...

Fanny Kemble Johnson, Henry...

As we grow from child to adult we are usually told short stories which soften and help us understand the vital information a story has to impart.  It’s a clever concept by saying one thing―many times with an animal protagonist―and meaning another.  In adult years these stories continue along the same lines but what they are really saying is that what you see is not always what you get. 
 
Words from the pens of Oscar Wilde, Leo Tolstoy, Henry James and others really can illuminate and explain subjects difficult to broach.

It’s a testament to the sweat, tears and laughter that pave the road to success, and to the unyielding spirit of a true champion."Katarina's determination is incredible. She is a true champion" SIR MO FARAH"A shining example of someone who has succeeded against the odds" JOHN BISHOP"Kat is one of the strongest women I know; this book is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when you believe in yourself" ALEX SCOTT"One of the most inspiring women I have met.
