Ten Sorry Tales
Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
From the pen of Mick Jackson, author of The Underground Man and Five Boys, come these ten acclaimed tales. Featuring undertakers, dark forests, resurrected butterflies and a singularly mean-spirited horse, the stories are nevertheless rooted in the realistic and all too recognisable world of retirement, loneliness, and childhood boredom. By turns funny, scary and heartbreaking, they are always illuminating, and further evidence of one of the most original and brilliant imaginations in contemporary fiction.

A fairly quick read, Jackson's sorry tales range from the oddball to the uplifting. Well worth a look especially if you like your stories a bit more original erring towards the strange end of the curve.
