Thomas Bähler has just released his first novel, Anything Is Possible. This inspiring and heartwarming story follows the life of Æsop. For centuries the world has studied Æsop’s Fables. Whether you’ve read The Tortoise and the Hare, The Lion and the Mouse, The Goose Who Laid the Golden Eggs or so many others, we have all enjoyed the magic of his words. But it may come as a surprise to learn that Æsop was, for much of his life, a slave. A beautiful, richly wrought story, it re-imagines the life of the great storyteller, Æsop. Born a slave in the house of Theseus, Æsop understands early on that though the world may see him as a slave, in his heart he is free.
Through countless hardships, cruel masters and the loss of everything he loves, Æsop holds fast to those immortal words his mother taught him and finally finds a way to achieve his dreams of Freedom. So rarely does a story like this cross our paths, with such a perfect message for these difficult times. Powerful though simple, it is a profoundly inspirational tale that teaches us… Anything is Possible
