This is a collection of oral folk-tales that explore what it is to be human. Thirteen of them are traditional tales that have been collected and retold by a professional storyteller who has traveled around the world for over thirty years presenting them in places as diverse as palaces and underground train carriages and to listeners of all ages and backgrounds. The other three are original stories written by the same storyteller inspired by his journey thus far.
The ideals of friendship, kindness, and compassion are all to be found in the minds of the characters in these tales as they travel the paths toward the truths that they are seeking.
There is never only one truth, there are many. But there is only one path to find them. The one that each of us is on.
