Produktbeschreibung

"I'll see you home," said the dog.

Old Mr. Grimsby collects stories as a hobby. He writes down stories told him by his maid and by her grandmother, Mrs Naylor. He listens to stories at the bedside of the dying Mrs. Riley.

A hero of Waterloo, Sergeant Lamb, will tell him stories if paid with pairs of old trousers.

Because everybody has a story.

Walking home late one night, Mr. Grimsby finds the Churchyard Grim pacing at his side- the Grim, the ghostly dog that guards the graveyard and its dead.

The Grim tells him a story as it leads him to Heaven's Gate. There he finds Sergeant Lamb also waiting for the gate to open, and the Sergeant tells another story to pass the time.

Once inside the gate, there's Mother Mary and She has a story to tell too. She even coaxes a story from Mr. Grimsby.

Everybody has a story.

If you like the old stories, the wise, haunting, poetic and funny old stories passed down for hundreds of years, then you'll love Susan Price's tales within tales, of the stories and the people who told them.

Autorenporträt

I was firmly convinced that I decided to become an author at the age of seven, after reading Kipling's Jungle Books - until I was talking to my aunt recently.

She told me that she remembered me marching up to her and my grandmother, putting my hands on my hips and announcing,'When I grow up I'm going to be a writer!'

"You were four,"she said.

Whether four or seven when I made the decision, I never wavered thereafter. I have always been single-minded. But bloody-minded single-mindedness is an essential quality in a writer. Without it, you probably wouldn't even finish a first draft.

My father signed my first publishing contract, because I was 16, and under-age. I'd have been fairly happy if that had been my one and only book. But luck was with me, and I've gone on to publish something like 60 books, for different ages and in different genres; and am now self-publishing on Kindle - something that wasn't even envisaged in science-fiction when my first book came out. Life remains interesting!
