Synopsis

The stories in this book touch upon the author’s own life and his sense of humour and wide-ranging interests.
‘By the Waters of Stepney Green’ is half historical recollection, half romantic dream, while in the often hilarious ‘We weren’t all fliers’, you meet the young author and his escapades as a National Serviceman.
‘Gilda’, a story set in Burma in World War II, will keep you reading well into the night.
‘Gareth’ is the story of a young man from orphanage to officer and tells how deep friendship can emerge from enmity, while ‘Chess Board Execution’ is a story of love, deception and revenge.
These stories will appeal to all readers who enjoy a mixture of genres and moods.
