Publisher Description

A delightful collection of short stories designed to engage and entertain.

Extraordinary tales about ordinary people told with empathy, whimsy, magic and imagination.  You will be led up blind alleys and along familiar paths and more often than not the destination will be completely unexpected.

Told with cheeky irreverence and an antipodean tone of voice, these stories, while pure fiction, will often be so close to your own truths they are bound to resonate. And in the tradition of writers like O. Henry and Dahl, Hanlon takes great delight in putting a twist in every tale.

Prepare to enjoy yourself.

They are what Roald Dahl might have written if Dahl hadn't bent his stories to nasty ends. Hanlon has the same knack for a twist but without the underlying malevolence. — Paul Little
