The Song of Midas is a rich and emotionally layered retelling of the ancient myth where gold is not just a symbol of greed but a weight that distorts love, memory, and desire. In this version, King Midas of Phrygia is not a monster but a man, flawed, tender, and torn between what he longs for and what he fears to lose.When the power to turn anything into gold is placed in his hands, Midas believes he has been chosen for greatness. But the gift quickly becomes a curse, unraveling the delicate bonds between him and those he loves most. At the heart of it all is a quiet yearning for self acceptance, for connection, for a life not hardened by ambition.Told with poetic depth and a deep understanding of the human heart, The Song of Midas is a story of transformation in every sense. It explores the cost of what we chase and the beauty of what we risk leaving behind.

The Book Buried Inside a Tree is a reflective exploration of knowledge that exists beyond paper and ink. It invites the reader to see trees not as silent objects, but as living libraries that carry memory, intelligence, and wisdom shaped over centuries. Just as books store human understanding, trees hold stories written in rings, roots, and branches. This book reimagines learning as something organic and patient. It explores how nature teaches through observation, connection, and time, asking what we might gain if we learned to read the world as carefully as we read pages in a library. Rather than offering quick answers, it encourages a deeper way of knowing, one rooted in attentiveness and respect for living systems. If you have ever felt that knowledge is not only found in books but also in landscapes, silence, and growth, this book will resonate as an invitation to listen, learn, and remember that wisdom is alive all around us.

Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, Canada, on November 30, 1874. Her mother died when she was a toddler and her devastated father asked her grandparents to raise her. Her childhood years in Cavendish were very lonely. Lucy’s solution at this early age was to create imaginary worlds and people them with imaginary friends. Her creativity was beginning to establish itself in her life. With her studying days over Lucy began a career as a teacher and worked at various Prince Edward Island schools. It was soon obvious to her that she did not enjoy teaching but the benefit was that it gave her time to write. That was now her real passion. Much of her early career was spent writing short stories. Indeed in the decade from 1897 magazines and newspapers published over 100 stories from the prolific young writer. In 1908, Lucy published her first book, the classic, Anne of Green Gables. It was an immediate success and quickly established her career. During her lifetime, Lucy published 20 novels, 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Aware of her fame, by 1920 Lucy began editing and recopying her journals, reframing her life as she wanted it remembered. Lucy Maud Montgomery died on April 24, 1942 in Toronto. A note was found beside her bed, "I have lost my mind by spells and I do not dare think what I may do in those spells. May God forgive me and I hope everyone else will forgive me even if they cannot understand. My position is too awful to endure and nobody realizes it. What an end to a life in which I tried always to do my best." The official cause of death was a coronary thrombosis.
