Fatu And The Lioness

And Other Stories

This book contains a selection of eight, sometimes fantastical, short stories for young and old from the active imagination of Michael Jaquish, a world traveler and contemplative. Some are pure fantasy and others are actual brief glimpses into the adventures of the author. Fatu and the Lioness is a traditional West African folk tale that has been handed down only in verbal form until the author wrote it down and illustrated it for all to enjoy. The other stories range from whimsical tales that younger people will enjoy to tales that capture a more thoughtful diverse perspective on the author's search for adventure around the world. Whatever your age, this book will likely offer something compelling.

The author has published over twenty books. A few of these stories are short excerpts from some of those books.
