Ten Sorry Tales

A bit of a strange brew, this one - full of bone-digging, tunnel-making, child-snatching, alien-landing and the sneaking-around-of-museums, late at night.

Its principal characters include a young boy who purchases second-hand surgical equipment, a young girl who conjures-up dead relatives and grown men and women who row coffins across rivers and put uninvited visitors in their smokery. (Also includes bad-tempered horses and conversational dogs.)
