    About this ebook

    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.

    Robert Lee

    Bob sold his first short stories to Young Ambassador and Omni magazines when he was twelve. For nearly forty years, he only wrote fiction works and poetry for friends, until he was convinced by them that his writing was very compelling.Bob Lee’s career kept him focused on business communications for much of that period. He wrote and produced a series of training videos for Loss Prevention Group Inc, wrote hundreds of business plans, feasibility studies and market analyses, along with scores of training manuals, handbooks and guides for his clients.He is the author of more than two hundred and fifty blog posts, white papers and articles for national and international clients. His own blogs have a viewership exceeding 353,000.His freelance works include radio pieces for CBC (Now or Never and Definitely Not The Opera)and Corus Entertainment.Since 2011, he has written and published seventeen books under his name (www.robertflee.com) and ghostwritten eight more books and novels in a variety of genres.His career in business support services and as a private investigator have provided him with a rich source of material from which to draw inspiration. Many of the people who he encountered were so noteworthy as to be featured in his non-fiction works such as Wild People I Have Known and What We Have Lost.Few writers can match the engaging writing style of Robert Lee. His minimalist method of enticing mental images from a single phrase, or urging complex emotion from a few sentences drives action throughout his works. Yet, Robert can draw us meticulously and inexorably through the most detailed or complex scenarios, while captivating us with each word.Whether you are absorbed in the convoluted mental struggles of Lawrence Mason (Inferno Inside), the unworldly twists and turns of the Sentinels (Council of the Pure),the ethereal adventures of the nymphs and sprites (Gypsy Lee’s Fairy Tales, Fables & Yarns), or the heart and tragedy of true life anecdotes about murders and rapists(Wild Animals People I Have Known), you will bond intimately with each of Lee’s characters.Fiction or non-fiction, Robert Lee brings you immense and unique reading experiences that will compel you to call for more of his works.
