A small book with short stories. I really did not see the point in the Tea and Biscuits story. What was she trying to tell us? She's with an old man, who cares? Didn't like that one much. I enjoyed Night Geometry and the Garscadden train and Genteel Potatoes. Could have done without reading Bix and the Seaside Photographer. Bix was the slightly better of the two. Not bad for a 60p book.

No. Just no.
Some stories had potential, others were just a collection of confused characters.
