Another Seven Simple and Slightly Silly Stories

by John Foley

While a little learning goes a long, long way, it’s not necessarily in the right direction – as Sid Christmas found to his cost in ‘The Wisdom of Teaching Reindeer to Read’, one of the fables in this follow-up to Seven Simple and Slightly Silly Stories. Among others in this new collection for the young at heart aged 10 to 110, discover the wasp who thought too little of himself and the puddle who thought too much, the magnificent squirlybird whose like will never be seen again, and the tale of a once-fashionable lift whose final thoughts turn to revenge.
