About the Book

This book is meant to be the second part of Slice of Life.  If you liked the first goodies, I hope you will enjoy these.  I included three of the original stories to clarify some points and correct errors—A Story of Two Dolls; The Three Little Pigs According to Nana; and Snow White and the “House of Seven”--, and I added ten more, which makes thirteen, a “baker’s dozen”.  Some of the questions I tried to answer here are: why did Snow White eat the apple?  What happened to her children after “happily ever after?” Why do people collect stuffed animals but prefer real pets? What do mice think about climbing into dog food bags, or how to guide dogs feel when they retire? And what kind of a world might we have if people lived a long, long time? As with most desserts, this collection may appeal more to children and to the young of heart. 


About the Author

Linda A. M. Schneider was born in Washington, D.C., and has lived in Arlington, Virginia all her life, so she teasingly says she is “one of the natives”.  After graduating from Trinity College (Michigan Avenue, Washington, D.C.) with a B.A. in English literature in 1974, she received her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center in 1977. At present, she works for the SEC as an attorney.

In addition to this present book, Ms. Schneider has compiled a collection of short stories, Slice of Life, to which this book is the sequel. Her other avocations in spare time include knitting and sculpture.

Ms Schneider lives in either a one or two-dog household depending on whether she has a retired guide dog.
