It's 1954. Tessa and Lewis Swinburne are a bit miffed by the imminent appearance of a baby brother or sister... When their mother brings baby Gordon home, the newcomer wreaks more havoc than they could have imagined and disrupts their perfect childhood. They decide that something must be done, so secretly they construct an effigy and transport it away from the house, and across the forbidden highway to the phone box around the corner. They don t wish Gordon dead, just gone. To their astonishment 'go' he does from his pram parked outside the paper shop when their father pops in for a paper. In the space of minutes the family s lives are turned upside down and all the children s futures marred. Will Lewis and Tessa live to regret their actions? Forty years on the ripples on the Swinburnes family pond are still in evidence.
''my soul gave a little leap when Sweets of Morocco's turn came around because I loved picking it up every single time. Jo Verity already has the Richard & Judy Short Story Award on her mantlepiece and if she is writing novels like this perhaps she should keep some more mantlepiece space free, my thanks to Jo, Sweets From Morocco has been a cracking good read.''
