These 50 very short stories are in two of the most popular storytelling formats we remember from our childhood no matter what community and literary tradition we come from: fables (where human nature is illustrated by using non-human examples) or parables (where human nature is illustrated by using all-too-human examples). Devoid of all cultural and societal descriptions, depicting humans as animals and animals as humans, they help us explore the multiple layers of human nature unadorned and in the raw. As in my previous collection of short stories, 49 unmarked graves, no character is identified by name, politics, religion, race or colour. Also, there are no references to any actual geographical locations or to any particular periods in history. This is in an attempt to separate each situation from conscious and subconscious prejudice so as to better identify any fundamental underlying motives.

There are many philosophical landscapes (religion, art, etc.) just as there are many physical landscapes (forests, mountains, etc.). To see then understand them, we need illumination then reflection, hence the title 'reflections on landscapes'. Philosopher poets illuminate entire landscapes, but my aim is simply to try to shine a little light on these 99 tiny patches of land just enough to allow you to reflect on them from your own unique viewpoint. After all, you are the source of heat and light. You are the unique sun at the centre of your own unique solar system. It is you and you alone that must reflect on all the worlds and on all their landscapes as they constantly revolve around you.This book also includes 13 Ominals (poems for children about animals).
