His background facilitates a structured flow of thought. His compassionate writing style is fluent, direct and graceful. His skill of verbalizing emotions is sometimes overshadowed by his tendency to accept the less then perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Ana S\u00e1nchez de Abajo is a Spanish biochemical specialist with an phenomenal imagination capable of thinking outside the box. Her style is immersed, imaginative, abundant and poetic. Her talent to translate her clear-cut understanding of social concepts to content is enhanced by her strong natural desire for perfectionism.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of these occasionally contrasting styles proved fruitful. A union that gave rise to a beautiful dramatic composition. Together these authors present this virtually authoritative fairytale about Thomas and his friend that will touch the reader in ways never thought possible.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Excerpt<\/h3>\n<p>The first chapter of the book.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>The beginning<\/strong><br \/>\nA long time ago &#8230;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Get it<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>Thomas and Valentine.<br \/>English.<br \/>Paperback,<br \/>ISBN 978-1-4478-1373-6<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"\/cashcow\/thomas-and-valentine.epub_.zip\">ePub<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"\/cashcow\/thomas-and-valentine.mobi_.zip\">eBook<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"\/cashcow\/thomas-and-valentine.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thomas en Valentijn.<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/nl.gif\" alt=\"Language: NL\" width=\"14\"> Dutch.<br \/>Paperback,<br \/>ISBN 978-1-4478-4261-3<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"\/cashcow\/thomas-en-valentijn.epub_.zip\">ePub<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"\/cashcow\/thomas-en-valentijn.mobi_.zip\">eBook<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"\/cashcow\/thomas-en-valentijn.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Small print<\/h3>\n<p>Thomas and Valentine<br \/>\nISBN: 978-1-4477-4310-1<br \/>\nJune 2011<\/p>\n<p>Written by Adrie Berg<br \/>\nStory: Ana S\u00e1nchez de Abajo<br \/>\nRealization: Adrie Berg<br \/>\nInspiration: Greece, November 2010<\/p>\n<p>This work is protected by copyright laws.
