Opis

A collection of tales that may or may not be true but don't lose anything for the telling, carrying as they do, an air of honesty, even as the narrative style is tongue-in-cheek. Characters whose lives are portrayed range from the ordinary to the extraordinary: Chip, the monk who gets barred from the zoo; Jacob Pence from the town of Farthing; John Fat Burns who avoids being fried, or the Pontiff who wishes he could be closer to his flock. A picture is formed of a world in which everyone has their own problems, perplexities and personal demons to wrestle with, to conquer and overcome. The stories told here are, by turns, wryly humorous and poignantly sad, witty yet conflicted but never boring. We don't always control the events in life that befall us but we take charge the moment that we accept responsibility and face the consequences of our actions. A look at modern life that will not fail to amuse.
