Over 40 Million of You Bought Jonathan Livingston Seagull. 
Then You Bought Over 15 Million Copies of Illusions. 
And now: Curious Lives
By Richard Bach

     Back-to-back, Richard Bach’s books have been on the New York Times bestseller list for more than four years. His books are visions of why we’re here and where we’re going. He writes about ideas that change lives. What better could anyone write about? What better to read?

     We’re in the business of inspiring, and Hampton Roads Publishing Company is delighted to offer readers another chance to read Richard Bach’s Curious Lives: Adventures from The Ferret Chronicles (ISBN 1-57174-457-6), for a price worth the beautiful cover alone.

     This reissued story last told in five separate volumes is entertainment, full of adventure, intelligence and humor.  Ferrets tell the stories about living, but they’re just the actors. You and I and our children and grandchildren are the subjects in these tales of courage and heroism, creativity, and finding what matters most in life.

     Read Curious Lives to your children. They will ask you questions. They will make you wonder what our lives would be like without hate. They will remind you that we still can ask: How might we use all the energy we put into all our wars?  Who is in the lead?

     These are tales of ferrets who love. They will risk their lives for a higher cause. Stormy, Monty, Shamrock, and Jasmine are us as they persevere in seeking “to fulfill their highest right” while they strive to help each other do the same.

     These are tales from one of our greatest living storytellers. Bach’s written seventeen books in all, and has been among the most popular and quoted writers of an entire generation. He writes about a world without deceit, an alternative vision of human culture. It’s a culture we still could create. Remember when you believed that?

     There’s something hidden here. It’s worthwhile. You read Bach when you were younger. If you didn’t, you can read him now. If you did, you can appreciate him again. Rediscover Bach. Rediscover yourself.
