Mercifully Short Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648172611)

This collection of stories was written in the 1 970s and 80s. The stories are fiction, yet full of personal reminiscences. Their locations include a wheat farm in South Australia, a dairying community on the banks of the mighty Murray River and the suburbs of Melbourne.
There is a wide variety of styles in these stories. There's romance, adventure, sport, mystery, travel and psychology. There are even ghost stories, and others are just good yarns. Actually, they're all good yarns.
The stories are told with great whimsy and tongue in cheek humour. They tell of an era that is long gone, but an era that is looked back on with great fondness.
