Sobre IBD

This book of short stories by John Jansen, who leads a U3A creative writing group in Cornwall, England, seeks to explore just how short a short story can be. The essential elements of characterisation, intriguing situations, multiple possibilities and an unexpected resolution, can be fitted into a bite-sized tale. Nonsense verse revels in the joy of language, tortured rhymes and surreal images which appeal to the child in all of us.
