Put down that blockbuster novel which is 500 pages long – reading it is far too much like hard work. Pick up instead this collection of short stories by a master of the storyteller’s art; for these seventeen tales will provide you with much more fun and enjoyment in half the time.
In these pages you will meet King Albert, who has a harem of 500 wives, and serious problems in keeping them all happy; then there’s a young lady whose Granny asks her to sleep with a ghost; Budgie Bill, who prefers a feathered bird to the charms of Miss Samantha Ramsbottom; and a host of other engaging characters.
