Although possible to read as a stand-alone story, Once Upon a Time is part of The Peter Chronicles. To get the most from this book you are best reading it after you have enjoyed The 9 Months Trilogy and Happy Ever After. *** This book contains scenes which some readers may find distressing *** Before you can have your Happy Ever After you need your own Once Upon a Time and this is Peter Jenkins'. The traumatic childhood - and teenage years - of a man who became a monster in his desperate search to find True Love. *** Also contains a bonus short story "House" ***
