   No matter how grand or dramatic a story may be, it eventually returns to the mundane. Because people's initial struggles were all for the simple things in life: the four seasons, three meals a day, and a peaceful existence. To be honest, this book isn't about everyday life, but it's about striving for that simple existence. Alas, life is unpredictable, and fate can be cruel. Please, look after the child; writing is hard work!
