A group of people walk along the beautiful Pennine Way. They agree that each night they will each tell a tale about one turning point in their lives as the story telling will entertain their evenings. The result is a different form of road novel used as a frame for a range of short stories spanning much human activity.

This is a tale of what might have taken place. It is fiction, though it is shot through with many historical facts. I came across a real story in a real photograph which forms the frontispiece of this book; or rather two real stories that interwove into a tale worth telling, and in both stories most of the people were real. They lived, they breathed, they walked under the sun and saw out their liv

Her upper half was clothed in masculine style but she always wore a skirt, leaving open many questions about her gender, her sexuality and her nature.

In 1907 a nine year old boy went missing, with no food or equipment, on the Lake District fells. His disappearance made national headlines. He came of age in time to serve during the First World War, and it is a reasonable leap of imagination to think that he might have got lost again, but this time in the deserts of Iraq. This is the story of a boy who kept turning left, and for good reason, when

Workington, in Cumbria, is a quiet and peaceful town, yet like many other places, it has a more sinister side, hidden deep in history. Wherever human beings settle in large numbers, there is always crime, and some of this is violent. Murder, manslaughter and vicious assaults are things more readily associated with big cities, but Workington has had its share of them, and its placid streets have wi
