A Song for the Bees

The pick of prose and poems read aloud at the Whitby Writers Group during 2009 and 2010, illustrated in colour by Leela Clark, Helen Welton and Daphne Wright. Speccy four-eyes is really Queen of Wood Street; Simple Simon earns a good talking-to; a blazing send-off for a son who could never quite get it together; a family secret means no bringing friends home; guess where a door in a rock by a Welsh lake takes you; an insurance officer gets his ears knocked back; a bereaved sister pleads to move in with all her junk, and the roof of a council tenement becomes the cockpit for world war.
