***AS FEATURED AT THE CHELTENHAM LITERATURE FESTIVAL, STROUD SHORT STORIES & ON BBC RADIO GLOUCESTERSHIRE***Flash fiction, sudden fiction, micro-fiction, ultra short fiction - call them what you will, these twenty wry and witty short stories examine change at every stage of life, in a natural progression from birth to death.This collection is written with an admirable economy of style. Ranging from a spartan 100 words to the relative luxury of 1,000, they combine sharp observation of contemporary domestic life with gentle Britishhumor, profound affection for the social quirks of the author's native country, and the odd dark rumbling undertone.Plenty of surprises emerge along the way, from twists of magical realism to whimsical wish-fulfillment.Several of the stories have been selected for reading at public festivals and events, including "The Alchemy of Chocolate" at the Cheltenham Festival 2016, and for inclusion in National Flash Fiction Day anthologies.BONUS MATERIAL: The latest paperback edition contains two new stories that were not in the original e-book edition, but were originally published in national flash fiction anthologies.Both celebrate public libraries.This is the full list of stories in this collection:Out of the Mouths of BabesGoing to Grandma'sPenny for ThemThe MetamorphosisPeep Behind the CurtainThe Art of MedicineThe Alchemy of ChocolateThe ImpressionistsPatient VirtueThe Mutton and the LambTime OutClean LinenDomestic BlistersMarried BlissPerfect HarmonySpecial OfferAutumn LeavesA Singular LifeFuneral MarchThe Comfort of NeighboursPlease Remain Silent (for the Benefit of Other Library Users)Upwardly Mobile
