About the Book
The Fairy Tales were written by me after I was diagnosed as having the Parkinson's disease. My Doctor after my having a bout of depression told me to write. At fist I tried my hand at writing poetry for grown ups. I then started writing fairy poems for children. One day I sat at my computer and my first Fairy tale came into my head. Since then I have written about six hundred such tales. If all goes well I will have the other fairy tales published. Then the childrens poems and last but not least my adult poetry. I use the name Bern for all of my written work.

Born at Dartford, Kent in the year nineteen hundred and thirty. I was the last of six children, three boys and three girls. My Mother died of tuberculosis when I was three years old and I with my brother Stanley were placed in the care of the Medway Cottage Homes at Chatham Kent. War came along and I was sent with the other children to Whitstable in Kent then when the air fights were getting too dangerous we were sent to Tonyrefail, Glamorgan. South Wales. I passed a scholarship and attended the Bridge-end Mining and Technical school. After my national service I met and married my wife an Austrian girl. Later we decided to move to Austria to be near the wife's mother. At the age of fifty five I was diagnosed as having Parkinson's disease. I have always been a keen reader and have read many books in my long life. To become a writer has surprised not only me but many of my friends and aquaintences not to mention my lovely wife.
