A collection of short stories written for a variety of reasons, some as competition entries, newspaper fillers or simply to mark a family occasion. The boys in them are mainly drawn from my imagination, some are in a historical setting and others in the far future; but there is also my own childhood and that of my sons involved in them too. This is a delightfully varied and gentle read to help pass tedious hours of travel time.

Another by the second author also had similar success the following year and several others ...

Pause your weary journey through the hum-drum of l...

I have spent many hours in fascinating research to flesh out some of these colourful characters that fired my own imagination in the early years of my youth giv...
