A witty and warm collection -- Valerie Grove * The Times *
This entertaining collection of 14 short stories showcases all the
familiar tropes, stylistic flourishes and trademark deadpan humour
that make their author such a pleasure... A delight -- Simon
Humphreys * Mail on Sunday *
Delightfully imaginative stories * i *
These stories often read like fairy tales for adults, and seem
intended, above all, to raise a smile... they do this very
nicely... Labels is an amusing and clever story, its
absurdist tone well fitted to its subject -- William Skidelsky *
Financial Times *
Louis de Bernieres is a very genial observer of human folly. These
stories are warm and witty, peopled with fallible characters at the
mercy of their own prejudices and insecurities -- Eithne Farry *
