A Walk in the Woods and Other Short Stories: Including Phil the Bath, Pig Tales, The Boy in the Picture, Strange Adventures and Even Stranger Yarns. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798663340120)

An enjoyable collection of twenty-one short stories that will make you smile, wonder about human nature and stifle a giggle. From the absurd to the thought provoking, the past to the present, this eclectic anthology of original tales takes an irreverent look at life, pokes a stick at officialdom and explores the daft side of our existence. Such as:

• Tom Wellies takes a Bath - A gentle story involving a length of string, a pair of Wellington boots and boundless optimism.
• A Walk in the Woods - It starts in the present but becomes a mystical journey into the past.
• I Blame Spud - A tale with a twist of a night out, a train ride and unexpected consequences.
• The Boy in the Picture - The narrative of a growing child with an ancient aunt and a photograph above the fireplace.

And more:

• The Man Who Never Was - The saga of an imaginary character made so famous that his obituary made the news.
• The Mart - Carwyn and Jean go shopping but do they buy Thomas the Turkey or will they escape the brutish bird.
• Scrumpy - An adventure that begins with a wheelbarrow full of apples. What could possibly go wrong?
• The Reckoning - A diary, a year goes past before an annual accounting; Victorian life laid bare.
• A Quiet Time in Carmarthenshire - He booked the holiday cottage; to escape and relax, away from his manic life. It was the picture of the dog lounging in the road that clinched it.

These are just a few of the stories told in this compendium of tales.
