This story is about two German Baronesses that traveled across the world teaching life lessons to those children and adults who needed the most help and for those that needed to be taught a lesson. The Baronesses, Emma and Natasha Von Lekton did not travel traditionally by car, or airplane, or train, or by bus. Instead, they are transported along with the magnificent castle where they reside to a location in the world where they are needed most. Baroness Emma Von Lekton is a very kind, innocent and compassionate teacher. Her lessons are meant for the students who are children. Her twin sister, Baroness Natasha Von Lekton, is very mischievous. She likes to play pranks on her sister and her students. Fortunately, the students she teaches are adults. There are some secrets that the Baronesses withhold until the end of the story, and some, they withhold until the next lessons. The students that needed the Baronesses help this time are a father and his son. The father's name is Nicholas Botticelli, and his son name is Vinnie. Nicholas and Vinnie live in a small town in Connecticut called Beacon Falls. Connecticut is one of fifty states in the United States. The lessons that the Baronesses teach are not taught from a book, but rather they are taught through magical adventures that their students must take. The lessons that the Baronesses teach are wholesome with benefits for all readers. This book is meant for older children, teens, and young adults. However, those adult readers who like to read fantasies about magical adventures will find this series a delight.

This collection of short stories takes its title from one of the stories contained in it: 'The Protectors'. All stories are basically romantic in nature, but they are not simple love stories. Their themes have all the colours, and their myriad shades, to afford you a panoramic view of the world we live in.

The first story, for example, is that of a boy whose rebellious nature, not accepting the norms of a corrupt society, struggles to achieve a job on the basis of his qualification, and not on the recommendation of a friend. Another story deals in defence of the motherland from the vicious attack of a rival force. Then there is a story which gives a graphic picture of a poverty-stricken housing scheme where women, forgetting about their self-respect, stoop so low as to adopt a life style, both execrable and pitiable... but there are women and there are women

In brief, the book touches on unemployment, indignity of a religious family, and inheritance inciting to murder. A story each describes the horrendous custom of doing away with female foetuses, the ugly face of feudalism, and foundering efforts of a courtesan to escape to a righteous life. Last but not least is the story of educated youth, who for want of any reasonable job, resort to robbery.

The book takes you along on a journey which unravels a picture of unspeakable misery some people are subjected to. One would feel the milk of human kindness is drying up fast

One could read these stories with a view to killing time, but if they pause and think... well, that is exactly what these stories are aimed at.

"I settled into this strange place, it seemed, as much as Lorenzo did, almost immediately that first summer. We quickly grew accustomed to our new home. We had constant running water and electricity, and we had a color television that could pick up twelve channels, and even had our very own bedroom, which we shared with bunk beds. We lived on a quiet street in New Domangue where there weren't too many other people like us, but this didn't bother Lorenzo and me because we had each other wherever we went. Father, who often spoke about New Domangue being our new home in the same breath that he reminded us of Santo Domingo, would sometimes point to the things in our home and say that one day we will have these things back in La Republica. As soon as the country gets better, he would say, we will go back and live like wealthy people.

But the old world back home disappeared to Lorenzo and me very quickly, and the old neighborhood and our old friends faded into sketchy snapshots that we barely bothered to look over. We were busy exploring every new discovery that came our way ."
