Paulo Coelho

The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream

£7.95

I have read many great books, I have, but nothing comes quite as close to being an all-time favourite as Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. It is a story about a boy who risks it all to follow his dreams. He loses everything on a few occasions, but with patience, perseverance, and attention to the signs and omens, he comes face to face with the reality of his dreams. He ends up where he started and this is a great message to us to look at where we are currently, who we are now, and find our deepest desires here. 

I have several copies of this book at home at any given time so that I always have spares to give to friends and family - and sometimes even lucky strangers! It's an easy, short read with a message that runs deep and makes you feel. The moments you spend in this book will be some of your best.
