The collection of short stories "The Way of Love" by Walter Hugo Mae is a book in which fantasy and reality are intertwined and can not exist without each other. Walter Hugo Mae's book offers the reader an unforgettable journey through the world of children: it questions the most stubborn attitudes and certainties, with an unconditional surrender to the desire for discovery and astonishment, allowing the imagination to open the gates of love wide.

Because of the universal message they carry, Love Story stories are suitable for both young and adult readers. Walter Hugo Mae in his preface to the book says: "I am clumsy. The stories I invent are brave enough to become one thing or another. "I am romantic and I want to make the world a better place."
