This intriguing collection of the author's stories includes the novella "I ❤ Rhinos" ("cos they keep on charging "), which is about a very mixed group of people attending what is alleged to be "a marketing opportunity meeting."
Short stories span locations from Zimbabwe to England. The themes range from the successes of an entrepreneurial woman, to the memories of a victim of a war-time bomb, to "The Trouble with Uncle George," as well as the title story about what happened to "That Guy What Kill Topsy."
The collection features twenty-five main characters in at least seventeen different settings set during the past seventy years.
Peter Wood Cotterill grew up in Kent during wartime England. He resided in Essex, East London, Lincolnshire, and West Suffolk before emigrating to Rhodesia/Zimbabwe, where he lived for twelve years before returning to the UK. For the past forty-two years, he has lived in the same house in rural Hampshire that was built in 1642. Now retired, he worked in the financial industry and helped his wife run an education charity. This is his second book.
Описание: These 25 heartwarming stories are set during the holidays in the years between 1906 and today, amid historic events when people came together and found opportunities to exchange the true gifts of Christmas: kindness, encouragement, forgiveness, peace, hope, belonging, and more. The main character of each story is a boy or girl, man or woman whose heart opens to give or receive love, bringing personal transformation and causing them to always look back and say, "That was the best Christmas " Each story is penned by A.R. Cecil with a gentle twinkle in her eye, giving the reader delightful twists of plot, and revealing Mrs. Cecil's warm understanding of human relationships-with each other and with the Creator who sent his Son that first Christmas Day. A story collection that will rekindle the reader's own memories, giving perspective to the present and hope for the future. Perfect to read during Advent or any time of the year.
