Humour and irony combine to give piquancy to these 15 short stories which fall into three different genres-Life's Tapestry; Village Tales; Strange Happenings. This is a collection of fifteen short stories of varying length, with a touch of humour and irony, ranging from everyday events to the supernatural. The author has drawn on his experiences during his travels through the United Kingdom and abroad as well as on his intimate knowledge of village life. It is a book to be picked up and dipped into as a respite in the hustle, bustle and cynicism of daily living.
