Born to be a King 1: My Little Gypsy Prince
Some of my favorite books are ones where I can’t tell whether its real or not – fiction or nonfiction. Now, what I’m saying is that I DO know that the book is fiction, but because the writer has crafted such an engrossing, rich story filled with complex characters and tense emotional situations, I get so engrossed in the book that it seems real. Recently I finished reading Born to be a King 1: My Little Gypsy Prince by Harry AnderS. This was such a book (don’t be fooled by the cover – it makes perfect sense after you get engrossed in the narrative)!
Written in the first person, a retired Dutch psychotherapist and writer is enjoying his retirement in a beautiful village at the base of the mountains. Getting to know the new village where he recently moved, he slowly begins to settle in and reconnect with his personal self. One afternoon, while relaxing in the sun on the porch, the narrator sees peeking through the bushes a pair of eyes. And not any eyes, but magical eyes that belong to a small gypsy boy. As the book unfolds, Harry (the gypsy boy) and the Dutch psychotherapist go on an emotional rollercoaster as they discover their connection to each other and to the world.
Rarely does one encounter a book that has as much personal, raw experiences embedded in it as Born to be a King 1.Perhaps it is because Harry AnderS is a retired psychotherapist, applying his lifetime of psychological and therapeutic knowledge to the creative endeavor of book writing. However, do not for a moment believe that this is merely a case study disguised as a fictional narrative. No, Harry AnderS has employed the entire field of psychotherapy to this book, including the often neglected but equally important extra-mental phenomenal experiences. These include such things as psychic mediums, past lives, spirit helpers, and the like. Magically interwoven into the narrative, these extra-mental phenomenal experiences just add to the richness of the story.
Rather then your standard mystery or thriller, this book entertains through the beautiful narrative creativity of the written adventure. No guns, no murders, no conspiracy theories or the like. Born to be a King 1: My Little Gypsy Prince is simply the adventure between a man and a child – a child who turns out to be a very special boy indeed. I highly recommend this book - not only is it perfect for people looking for a great read, but for parents or individuals who deal on a regular basis with young adults. I just can't wait to read the rest in the series.

I absolutely love this book!
It was a mere accident that I came across it but a LUCKY one, never have I ever encountered such a thrilling and emotional novel. I think one of the biggest accomplishments of this novel is the fact that men can love boys without it being sexual or abusive. In this novel we witness pure innocent love between very special characters. I also like to mention that the English is phenomenal, written like a native speaker.
Little Harry and Davey are my two favourite characters ( although I love the others of course!) mainly because they are all alone craving love and desperate for someone to trust and belong to. It's a heartwarming story and I recommend it to everyone and anyone!
Please keep writing,
lots of love

I agree, I really like this book because it was able to express love in a very nuanced way. Great characters too!
