Beschreibung

Cursed with love by his step-mother, Culhwch (Pig Boy) is condemned to love and marry Olwen, the daughter of the Hawthorn Giant—pitiless, violent and huge. So begins the quest—first to the court of King Arthur to wins support for the quest.
In this earliest and earthiest of Arthurian tales, we are in the grip of the Otherworld, where landscape, nature and doing what we can to make a better future, no matter how impossible that might seem, are everything.
Making a future despite the odds and despite the terrible and debilitating pain that afflicts Pig Boy as part of his love of Olwen will see him tested him again and again as he faces each task along the quest, the last to hunt the Great Wild Boar and seize the golden comb and scissors from between its ears so that the Hawthorn Giant can have his beard trimmed and hair combed for his daughter's wedding.

    "How to Heal a Heart" is a gripping and heartrending tale that explores the lengths one man will go to find peace and ultimately reconcile the shattered pieces of his life. 
    Gabriel Friessen can’t shake his growing unrest at the idea that his seemingly perfect life is nothing but a lie he’s spent a lifetime running away from. 
    Despite his deep love for his wife and step-daughter, as well as the unwavering affection from his family, Gabriel suspects that in order to find peace, he must confront the truth he has spent a lifetime evading. This truth pertains to the man who is his biological father, the one who abandoned his mother, leaving her alone and pregnant before Gabriel's birth. 
    Though Gabriel is grateful to Andy Friessen for adopting him, giving him his name, raising him, and showering him with love, there exists a part of him that yearns to confront the man who turned his mother away. While his mother has moved on from that painful past, and his brothers and sisters may not understand his internal struggle, Gabriel realizes that for him to find the peace he desperately seeks, he must face his biological father head-on, before his emotions of guilt and anger spiral out of control any further.

    The Happy Prince and Other Tales is a timeless and deeply moving collection of fairy tales that showcases Oscar Wilde's extraordinary gift for blending beauty, compassion, and moral insight. First published in 1888, these stories are among Wilde's most beloved works, enchanting readers of all ages while offering profound reflections on love, sacrifice, and social injustice.
    
    The collection includes five unforgettable tales—"The Happy Prince," "The Nightingale and the Rose," "The Selfish Giant," "The Devoted Friend," and "The Remarkable Rocket." Each story is rich in symbolism and emotional depth, revealing Wilde's concern for the suffering of the poor, the cost of selfishness, and the redemptive power of kindness. Through elegant prose and vivid imagery, Wilde transforms simple fairy tales into powerful moral parables.
    
    Though often presented as children's stories, these tales speak just as strongly to adult readers. Beneath their gentle surfaces lie sharp critiques of materialism, pride, and cruelty, as well as tender meditations on friendship, loyalty, and self-sacrifice. Wilde's lyrical language and poignant storytelling ensure that each tale leaves a lasting impression.
    
    The Happy Prince and Other Tales stands as a celebration of empathy and generosity in a world often marked by indifference. The stories remind readers that true beauty is found not in wealth or status, but in acts of love and selflessness. With its blend of wonder and wisdom, this collection continues to resonate across generations.
    
    A classic of world literature, The Happy Prince and Other Tales is essential reading for lovers of fairy tales, classic fiction, and Oscar Wilde's enduring literary legacy. It is a book to be cherished—one that inspires the heart while illuminating the soul.

    Prince Bernd: 
    As Prince of the Bear Shifters, I knew the time would come for me to prove myself worthy of my crown. I expected my quest to be perilous. What I didn’t expect was for it to take me up into Espen Mountain, a place that’s brought me nothing but grief and terrible nightmares. Not only must I find the five magical ingredients, but I have to do so alongside Saer, a mysterious and charming shifter coyote summoned by the king to be my guide. But who is Saer, and why do I feel as if we’ve met before? 
    Saer: 
    Crushing on Prince Bernd from afar was one thing. Being given the responsibility of saving the prince and his kingdom was a whole other story. Banished from my kingdom by my own prince years ago, I never imagined I would be summoned to help Bernd. What could I possibly offer a prince? How was I supposed to save him? I was no one. A shifter with no place to call home. What I did know was that I would do everything in my power to help Bernd succeed on his quest. All I had to do was stop crushing on the guy, find the magical ingredients hidden up a dangerous mountain, and save his heart. What could go wrong?
