These are the best, worst and strangest people you could meet: bullied schoolchildren, lecherous ravers, religious loners and bored obsessives populate a world where normality becomes nightmarish and secrets dominate everything.

The ten tales of Recreation And Other Stories lead you through the lives of characters with too little - or too much - time to decide what they truly want from life. In Fairy Wings an ageing party animal cannot resist making trouble for her friends; in When The Classroom Came To Life one poor schoolboy is both a victim and the cause of his own downfall; in Scarlett a lovelorn teenager finally pays the price for his cruelty; in The Lord's Work a woman who put faith before herself wonders what she has to show for it; and in Daniel And Jeremy a young man finally admits the truth about his sexuality amid the unsettling carnival of a village festival.

Recreation And Other Stories is a collection of ten stories by author and journalist George Chesterton. It's about the trials of life, from young love to middle-aged madness to the serene but darkening descent of the elderly. It is comic and absurd, with characters crippled by uncertainty and doubt. Just your everyday kind of people really.
