Some books are like old friends. I love getting together with them, settling down with a cup of tea, or just settling down and getting into them. These books make me smile, warm my heart and leave me satisfied and anticipating the next time we can get together.
I have two books to recommend this winter Holiday season that are like old friends. I know because that’s what readers say about them. They are The Old Man and the Monkey and Grandfather and the Raven. Read about them below, then pick up a copy or two from Abbott ePublishing at http://www.abbottepub.com. The Old Man and the Monkey is listed on their “Fiction” page. If you own a Kindle, the books are Kindle-ready and downloadable to your machine.
Here’s what readers are saying about these two warm-hearted books:
The Old Man and the Monkey:
"I was immediately drawn to it. Wow! Nothing short of monkey magic.” –Thom Rutledge, author, Nashville
"Makes you look within to find the best that you can be. I love this story. It gets better every time I read it.” –Jean S., Seattle
“Reflects the rare values of unconditional friendship; love, trust, respect, loyalty and dependability.” –Stella T., Rotterdam
Makes you “feel you’re with” the old man and the monkey.” –Aneeta S., Kuala Lumpur
Wakens you “to the wonder of life and death and friendship.” –Wendy M., Quebec
Grandfather and the Raven:
“A delightful collection of life fables that warms you all the way down, leaving you looking forward to another reading in the future.” –Jean S., Seattle
“Full of wisdom and simply a pleasure to read! A book that rejuvenated me.” –Meam W., Karachi
“Suffused with a gentle knowingness and humour, accompanied by a sharp disapproval of unprovoked violence.” –Tim Roux, author, Belgium
“Like that piece of chocolate that you have with your afternoon cup of coffee... short, sweet, and leaving you wanting another piece.” –Shawn C., author, Sapporo
The raven “speaks in a mysterious voice, which some people can understand, and others hear only as a noise. These stories are fun, and would be fun to read to a child sitting in a loving lap.” –Wendy M., Quebec
Be sure to pick up your copy at http://www.abbottepub.com. You’ll find The Old Man and the Monkey listed on their “fiction” page. Then settle down with a cup of hot chocolate, tea or coffee, pick up the books or turn on your Kindle and enjoy a wonderful experience. You’ll be glad you did.
Happy Holidays and happy reading,

I recently read 'Grandfather and the Raven' and really enjoyed reading it! George Polley definitely knows the art of story telling and this book gives a glimpse of his great talent as a fiction writer.
