All these stories were written this century, most very recently, by talented beginners or established authors as famous as Arthur C. Clarke, Elspeth Davie, Thomas Hinde and Colin Thubron. Set in every corner of the British Isles, as well as in Kashmir, the Australian outback and a French launderette, these miniature dramas tell of a romantic, if painful, encounter at a cycle race, an obsessive tourist guide, a convent with problems and a Trotskyist bookseller. Comic or sad, exciting or thoughtful, they are deeply revealing about today’s Britain and, with notes explaining the obscure words and technical terms, make a highly entertaining anthology, ideal for the serious student of life in Britain today or for anyone who simply enjoys a good read
