The writer takes his inspiration for this collection of short stories from his favourite novels of literary history, and the short story he considers the best ever written.
In reading these lovingly created new stories the writer hopes to inspire readers to seek out the more obscure novels and to read or re-read the classics of literature every reader young and old should be acquainted with.
This collection is not an attempt at parody or pastiche. The writer hopes to catch the spirit of the original, to bow in homage to writers more talented than himself.
