Curious Tales from the Rag Bag

Curious Tales from the Rag Bag is a collection of surreal illustrations and observational wry or whimsical short stories, poems and ponderings on and around the surprising nature of life, to which we can all relate. Life, with its ups and downs and joys and sorrows; its complications and its simplicities; its weirdness and (in may cases) its very ordinariness. The stories are sometimes joyous, sometimes painful, sometimes inspirational, often heart-warming, at times heart-wrenching. The characters we meet, we have all met - maybe we are them? We understand their tales, often only too well, and laugh and cry with them. Each story is accompanied and inspired by its own fantastically surreal and surprising image, and each image enables a deeper understanding and appreciation of the tale within.
