Cherish this bed-time reading treat as you would a comforting mug of hot chocolate. This little volume offers a variety of themed stories in bite-size chunks. A cluster of characters from the past and the present to empathise with or shake a fist at. A nightly narrative to send you off to sleep with a smile on your face. Susan Pope's anthology of thirteen short stories reflects her considerable writing talent for finding obscure and varied situations and creating stories to entertain and amuse.
