Sobre IBD

ÔTiffinÕ is derived from the Indian word for Ôsnack,Õ so these stories are miniature verbal appetisers. Inside this book are several disparate stories covering love, haunting, abandonment, humour, redemption, and deceit Ð a potpourri of different situations and people. There is a hilarious account of a winter holiday doomed from the start, a sex change and its dramatic effect on a family, two abandoned toys begin a new life, Muktah rescues an abused elephant, the wayward Ginger Murphy plots escape from her dreary Irish home, the arrogant Captain Liquorice seeks adventure at the peril of the sweets who follow him, and Edith discovers her dream house contains a ghost. ThereÕs something inside to suit everyoneÕs taste, so ÔTiffinÕ is ideal to slip into your briefcase, backpack, or handbag. 3
