About this ebook

 The short story is a great way to tell a tale - it is akin to a pencil sketch - which often delivers a more satisfying image than a much laboured over oil painting on canvas. The Short Story has a spiritual home in Ireland and these stories have a hint of that spirit running through them, though they are universal in the emotions and situations they portray. These are tales about lives.Mainly fictional, though a couple are based on real event. Every reader will find an emotional connection somewhere within this small collection.
