A World Away

<p>Short stories telling tales from a small world; an eclectic compilation from different corners of the globe. Sixty-one heartfelt sketches often laced with longing.</p><p>We travel to Europe Scandinavia and Oceania The Middle East Africa Asia and The Americas; visit places of seclusion and reflection mountains and memories quiet towns and villages cities immersed in their hustle and bustle. We visit the obvious to find the not so obvious. We visit the unusual. There is history and humour mystery and regret an odd assortment of bibs bobs and bibelots - often nostalgic reflective happy or sad - sometimes all of the above. We meet many people along the way including teachers doctors backpackers country and city folk along with travelling souls of all ilks.</p><p>Most of these offerings have been previously published here and there in some form at least scattered across various blogs websites the occasional newspaper and/or offered up in some literary competition.</p><p>While there is lots of `travel' in this world-wide wander the stories are very much focused on people places and the human condition. The tales vary in length a menagerie of the tall and the true all intended to lead the reader to who knows where.</p><p><br></p>
