Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time...about now in fact, in a busy and bustling town somewhere in Anywhere, on the same day and the same time, an old woman lay dying and a baby girl was about to be born. The old woman felt all that was Familiar and Warm and Known slipping away from her and she felt great fear - she was being drawn down a dark tunnel leading to somewhere she didn''t want to go. Powerless to resist she traveled down that tunnel, further and further away from the Known, ever nearer to the Unknown. Her fear grew and grew until before her she suddenly saw a Light At The End Of The Tunnel - and that light seemed so warm and welcoming, exciting and enticing that her fear completely evaporated; the Unknown suddenly seemed so much more exciting and interesting than the Known that, instead of resisting her passage down that strange tunnel, she pushed and scrambled her way onwards to the light to emerge, kicking and screaming with hopeful anticipation, into a New Day. And at the opposite end of that same town... The baby girl felt all that was Familiar and Warm and Known slipping away from her and she felt great fear - she was being drawn down a dark tunnel leading to somewhere she didn''t want to go. Powerless to resist she traveled down that tunnel, further and further away from the Known, ever nearer to the Unknown. Her fear grew and grew until before her she suddenly saw a Light At The End Of The Tunnel - and that light seemed so warm and welcoming, exciting and enticing that her fear completely evaporated; the Unknown suddenly seemed so much more exciting and interesting than the Known that, instead of resisting her passage down that strange tunnel, she pushed and scrambled her way onwards to the light to emerge, kicking and screaming with hopeful anticipation, into a New Day. AND SO IT GOES ON... Welcome to Anywhere. Enjoy your stay! 28 Tales from and inspired by the fantastical, magical, mythical Land of Anywhere - a place very different from, yet disturbingly similar to, where you live now. WHAT THE CRITICS SAY "A unique reading experience. 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. Bravo, Mr. Hennerley!" - VINE VOICE "The most spiritually and intellectually worthwhile and inspiring read I have encountered in a very long time. To me it is a humanist masterpiece on par with 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." - US REVIEWS WHAT READERS SAY: "This is the best book I have read since The Book Thief." ★★★★★ "I really enjoyed this book...some stories can move you to tears. Brilliant." ★★★★★ "Touched my heart. Stories full of love, hope, and accepting woven beautifully with whimsy. I couldn''t put this book down nor did I want to." ★★★★★ "One of the best books I''ve read in Damn near forever! I found myself savoring it bit by bit so it wouldn''t end too soon, but sadly it is over and I must wait for another book as nurturing to my spirit." ★★★★★ "I loved this book.Yes, it''s a collection of tales, but so much more. It''s a reminder that we don''t have to stoop to the level of the powerful one percent. Humanity can prevail with decent and kindness. While it relates the ugliness in the world today, it also offers hope and love." ★★★★★ "Should be on everyone''s must read list!" ★★★★★

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magic can happen in the most ordinary of places. And so can evil. Welcome to Anywhere, a place where humans rub shoulders with mythical creatures - a place of magic, good and evil, hope and despair. A place very, very different from where you live...but at the same time very, very similar. Enjoy your visit - what will you discover? 24 incredible tales from, or inspired by, a place called Anywhere. WHAT THE CRITICS SAY: "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 WHAT READERS SAY: "This is the best book I have read since The Book Thief and it has a slight feel of the Book Thief or Mitch Albom. The author is a storyteller rather than simply telling stories. There are a lot of authors out there but not many are true storytellers. My favorite story involved a dachshund and her search for a missing shoe. The imagery was so good I could picture how the story would be as a cartoon or film." ★★★★★ "I really enjoyed this...very unusual moving stories that can move you to tears because the story lines are so well thought out. Brilliant."★★★★★ "Touched my heart. Stories full of love, hope, and accepting woven beautifully with whimsy. I couldn't put this book down nor did I want to.★★★★★ "One of the best books I've read in Damn near forever! I feel like re-evaluating ever book I've ever rated or adding more stars to show how outstanding it truly is! Thank you for writing it Mr. Hennerley! I found myself savoring it bit by bit so it wouldn't end too soon, but sadly it is over and I must wait for another book as nurturing to my spirit."★★★★★ "I loved this book. The writing style reminds me of Tanith Lee's "Tales from The Flat Earth"...Yes, it's a collection of tales, but so much more than what is on the surface. It's a reminder that we don't have to stoop to the level of the powerful one percent. Humanity can prevail with decent and kindness. While it relates the ugliness in the world today, it also offers hope and love." ★★★★★ "Should be on everyone's must read list! Thank you, Richard Hennerley."★★★★★

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dealing with the most translated work of German literature, the Tales of the brothers Grimm (1812-1815), this book discusses their history, notably in relation to Denmark and subsequently other nations from 1816 to 1986. The Danish intelligentsia responded enthusiastically to the tales and some were immediately translated into Danish by a nobleman and by the foremost Romantic poet. Their renditions remained in print for a century and embued the tales with high prestige. This book discusses translators, approaches, and other parameters such as copyright, and changes in target audiences. The tales’ social acceptability inspired Hans Christian Andersen to write his celebrated fairytales. Combined, the Grimm and Andersen tales came to constitute the ‘international fairytale’.This genre was born in processes of translation and, today, it is rooted more firmly in the world of translation than in national literatures. This book thus addresses issues of interest to literary, cross-cultural studies and translation.

Book excerpt: 'To be sure, many would enjoy Hennerley's works for the unconventional plots, the infectious imagination and the vibrant language. But I consider the Anywhere stories' lasting value to lie in its spiritual potency. Majority of the Anywhere stories can each be treated as an edifying parable for our world--the family, the workplace or the society. What distinguishes Hennerley's stories, however, is his ability to shine forth the message of hope, optimism, genuine care/compassion and faith in the human spirit in tension against his scathing critique of political or economic travesties.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to offer a justice-focused cognitive reading of modern YA speculative fiction in its narrative and filmic forms. It links the expansion of YA speculative fiction in the 20th century with the emergence of human and civil rights movements, with the communitarian revolution in conceptualizations of justice, and with spectacular advances in cognitive sciences as applied to the examination of narrative fiction. Oziewicz argues that complex ideas such as justice are processed by the human mind as cognitive scripts; that scripts, when narrated, take the form of multiply indexable stories; and that YA speculative fiction is currently the largest conceptual testing ground in the forging of justice consciousness for the 21st century world. Drawing on recent research in the cognitive and evolutionary sciences, Oziewicz explains how poetic, retributive, restorative, environmental, social, and global types of justice have been represented in narrative fiction, from 19th century folk and fairy tales through 21st century fantasy, dystopia, and science fiction. Suggesting that the appeal of these and other nonmimetic genres is largely predicated on the dream of justice, Oziewicz theorizes new justice scripts as conceptual tools essential to help humanity survive the qualitative leap toward an environmentally conscious, culturally diversified global world. This book is an important contribution to studies of children’s and YA speculative fiction, adding a new perspective to discussions about the educational as well as social potential of nonmimetic genres. It demonstrates that the justice imperative is very much alive in YA speculative fiction, creating new visions of justice relevant to contemporary challenges.
