To Make a Long Story Short

The phrase ‘To Make a Long Story Short’ is used to indicate that you are providing just the basic facts rather than giving a lengthy explanation for something.

Example of Use: “To make a long story short, she sold the painting”

And also, to make a long story short, Tech Wizard Mike and the amazing illustrators of the Tech Wizard Mike Tales and the Technology Skills for Kids picture books try to convey key points (e.g. getting good help & technology minimalism) and thematics (e.g. true friendship, sensitivity & being kind to others) in as few words as possible. These are picture books after all 🙂

For example…

This long story made short is based on a real life incident of a woman who was overwhelmed and confused by the plethora of devices available to us and by various sales pitches and the not-so-sage advice of nogoodniks and well-meaning jackasses.

Note

“Another twist in the long story” is the filename that clever illustrator Tanya gave to the 5th illustration in this series.
