A survey of a wicked, irreverent, serious, harmful, cruel and enjoyable (for some) side of human civilization. Including quotes on lies and lying (good, bad and indifferent) from famous people who should know better.
Recent research has discovered possibly connections with our frontal-brain cell structures and our ability to lie well, giving a whole new series of answers to the question, Why do we lie? and more importantly Why Do We Lie To Ourselves?
An easy read, amusing look at the bedrock of civilization.

Six slightly wry fairystories for children of 5 and over, inspired by the paintings of Annie Ovenden. Ranging from naughty piscies, to ancient elves who save lives; from evil wizards to talking dogs the tales are a delight for all ages.
Each fairystory is around 1000 words and written to be read aloud or simply read by oneself. Six paintings are reproduced in full colour, one in front of each story.
In the late 17th century a highwayman is caught and hanged at the Assizes. But that is only where the story begins.
Reincarnated immediately as a cat who watches his own burial, Blueskin follows the brothers of who caught him and decides to exact revenge. But how can a cat kill two men? So begins his adventures crossing the Atlantic to America, being almost eaten by the sailors, evading pirates, surviving a shipwreck and finally meeting an Washo Shaman who can talk to him. A tale of how it took finding he had a tail to teach Blueskin how to be kind and almost human.
Beautifully illustrated by the talented painter Gabriela Sepulveda in full colour.
