Publisher's Synopsis
More than forty quirky tales, each one a little gem of story-telling. Kathy Sharp's stories will take you from the wilds of the Antarctic to the cosy study of a would-be writer; from the mystery of a lost ship to a butcher's ingenious act of revenge. In these pages you will meet incompetent criminals, gasp at unfortunate accidents, marvel at strange creatures, boggle at the inexplicable, shudder at the unpredictability of fate and shake your head at people's capacity for sheer self-delusion. More than likely you'll be smiling, too.
