The remarkable teapot
In a royal palace, a porcelain teapot has served tea for a hundred years. She watches carefully. She judges wisely. And her tea is never quite the same temperature twice.
When the King announces his daughter must marry, and princes begin arriving for afternoon tea, the teapot and the Princess have a plan. And it's all written in the royal protocol, page seven hundred fifty-eight.
A charming fairy tale for ages 6-12 and anyone who believes even the most ordinary things can be remarkable.
The Flying Bicycle
On a small Greek island, a sky-blue bicycle named Swiftwing races joyfully under the night stars with his dolphin and seagull friends. He has everything a bicycle could ever wish for, and he is so fast that some say he is flying.
One evening though, a crowd at the harbour notices him and starts calling him something else entirely. A flying bicycle. A blue cloud. A miracle. Their words plant a dangerous seed in Swiftwing's mind. Soon he finds himself standing at the edge of a cliff, ready to prove them right or wrong. Will he?
A modern fable about staying grounded and discovering that the greatest miracles are often the quietest ones.
Novels
Aesop’s Manuscripts
This book is not the typical novel you may find elsewhere, although it may begin and end as such.
Imagine a collection of manuscripts with several myths of Aesop, retold by four imaginary personae (Diodorus, Marcus, Quintus and Virgilio), who are supposed to be true descendants of Aesop himself, hence entitled to attempt the very hubris of retelling the masterpieces.
Each version brings a fresh view on the myth, sometimes a more philosophical one and sometimes a complete twist of the plot and the meaning.
A fresh retelling of the classic myths with a bit of novel and novelty inside them!
