| book description |

â€˜And they all lived happily ever afterâ€¦â€™ or so we are told in folk and fairy stories when we are young â€“ but then we grow up and realise that life isnâ€™t all roses and happy endings. Life is hard, life is brutal, life is raw and we just have to pick our way through it the best we can.

Itâ€™s not all serious, but take heed of the lessons they teach, and use them to avoid an unhappy ever after of your own...
