Feet and other stories

Sophisticated, witty beautifully crafted stories very much for older readers. Unusual and attractive type-setting and fine Bert Kitchen illustrations. Most of the eight stories are to do with seeing through people (or not) - complex patterns of lack of understanding, deception, manipulation, realisation, explanation. But also, in most of them, you are not quite sure what has happened by the end and nor are the main characters. On the surface, all seems clear. If the story is a mirror, it isn't misted; but mirror reflections are reversed and anyway, what's behind the mirror ...? I don't want to spoil any of the book by revealing what happens I'll just give three of the titles - which themselves play games: - I Was Adored Once Too; Mrs Tulkinghorne's First Symphony; Still Life: Remote Control. This book you can't do without. Give it to Sixth Formers as well as Fourth and Fifth. I hope lots of adults will have a chance to read it too.
