A cross-genre anthology of literary escapism short stories. From historical theatre fiction, contemporary satire, alternate fairy tale fantasy and poignant period romance. From the whimsical, the witty and the wistful, this a collection of tales, in which one way or another, the individual protagonist must somehow overcome the odds and triumph in the face of personal tragedy. As much catharsis as comedy, awaits you inside the pages of this anthology, which skilfully combines satire alongside sincere sentiment.

The titles featured in this anthology are as follow: -

'Where Did You Get That Hut?' - A selfless act of kindness renders an unexpected gift, in the form of an unusual inheritance. Cue, the Edwardian seafront at Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, a freshly painted Beach Hut, and a uniquely entertaining, open-air enterprise. Music Hall on the Promenade, but will the passing crowds lap up the notion of 'Sons Of The Sea', beside the seaside.

'Filibustering In Fairyland' - A satirical slant upon an age-old story. Will Beauty, the Palace, and all the Kingdom, merely 'sleep walk' into a familiar, fateful tale? Or will the Evil Fairy successfully court public opinion and garner sympathy? Shall pre-ordained Fate prevail, without fear or favour?

'21st Century Stress - A Series Of Comic Rants' - Gemma, a lady of deliberately uncertain age, and could literally be from any class or generation, speaks up for the silent majority. For, no mere moaning Minnie, is she! As Gemma treats every profound absurdity and annoyance of the modern age, as well as its decided lack of cultural values, equally, with her own unique, acerbic asperity. A scathingly satirical stream of conscience critique, is assured!

'Love Unrequited' - Many, is the mid-Victorian matrimonial misfortune, of Natasha Summerton. Who, despite being a lady of laudable love and loyalty, not to say, capable of great passion, tragically lacks the power to inspire, so much as reciprocal love, in others. But which is the greatest tragedy: wilful cruelty, careless abandonment, or merely the enduring absence of love?
