Tallis Steelyard. The Monster of Bell-Wether Gardens and other stories
Amazon.com link
My review -
If
you wonder what comprises the life of a jobbing poet in the town of Port Naain,
this little collection of stories will give you some idea. Tallis has a finger
in many a pie, arranging soirees for ladies, helping to write and distribute
literary journals (and their rivals!). He assists in redistributing the town’s
abundance of food and arranges for a man to experience a haunting when he’s
accepted the challenge to stay overnight in a disused tower. And that’s just
some of it!
Reading
these stories of Jim Webster’s is like putting on your slippers and picking up
a cuppa. Comfortable, and they make you smile.
