Publisher's Synopsis
'Once upon a time...Death was on his travels, collecting Souls as always, and he came across a dog, and this dog was filled with a love so pure and so true that it moved Death to tears...'
A succesful young lady's life spins rapidly out of control when a fairy gives her the gift (or is it the curse?) of empathy.
A ragged, ordinary looking man sings a song of such intense beauty and power that it shakes a Kingdom to its foundations.
The Souls of a Mother and her Son dance across a broad, bright blue sky with a complexity as intense and beautiful as the irresistible, flawless logic of a Mathematical Equation or the eye-catching wonder of a Murmuration Of Starlings.
A small, untidy, brown mongrel dog achieves the impossible - making Death cry.
How, exactly, do you tell a good friend from a bad friend?
If love were an 'if'...then what would love be?
A pair of young lovers are torn apart as class and privilege raise their ugly heads
And more...
Tales of love and kindness (and some sorrow) from the curious land of Anywhere.
Welcome to Anywhere. A country ruled over by powerful and insane people - a land where might is right and money is king. Welcome to a land where love, compassion and the Soul lie forgotten, replaced by a shallow culture of unsustainable consumption - and only Fairies and Trolls, mocked and despised by humans who have been lulled into complacency by shiny bling and celebrity, fight for decency and goodness. Welcome to your own world. Here and now.
Editorial reviews
"Brilliant comic technique, and a glorious sense of moral outrage at the current mess in which our country seems mired, combine here to make a unique reading experience. Often laugh-out-loud funny, the real-life characters behind these innocuous fairy tales and fables hit you by surprise, a series of sharp rocks hidden in those snowballs. Amazingly, with all the faux-naievete and children's book elements gleefully displayed here, the writing never becomes twee or condescending. I don't know where this writer's been all his life, but I intend to catch up with him, and keep an eye on where he's headed next!... Bravo, Mr. Hennerly!" - VINE VOICE
"This is the most spiritually and intellectually worthwhile and inspiring read I have encountered in a very long time ever since my days as a theological studies student. To me it is a humanist masterpiece on par with my favorite classists such as Faulkner, Lawrence and Bellow. It subverts conventional morals and doctrines while anchoring the plot development and the characters upon what I would call authentic virtues, Intuitive Knowledge and Intuitive Truth. Hennerley speaks Truth in this world of lies that shackle us from birth and asphyxiate us into death, all the while conspiring against our very vitality of the spirit. I cannot wait to read more similar stories from Hennerley! Thank you Hennerley for shining a beacon of light amidst such darkness we live under." - US REVIEWS
