About this ebook

There is a myriad of reasons. Stories can be a way to gain some control over the world. It shows us patterns in chaos and meaning in randomness. Stories allow you to peek into someone else’s head to see how they think. Stories affirm what we believe but also challenge us. Stories entertain and can make us cry.

In Historic tales, the editor took the technology of creative storytelling seriously to give us a basis to do better as a nation. These writers wielded their craft like a laser to penetrate why people do what they do. The emotion flows freely. The underlying theme is history, but also the heart itself. With the delicacy of masters, the writers laid bare what all of us, to some extent, feel inside.

As the season progresses, the wins pile up as Chloe lies asleep in her ‘wonsie’ alongside her dad.
