About the Book

Three of these stories are about growing up in the period from 1920 to 1980 and how the change in mores affected all parts of society. The fourth is a satire about local government. Gin and Orange, DeClerk, and Motorway are stories about growing up in the period from 1920 to 1980, and how the change in mores affected all parts of society. What if anything would you like to change in the behaviour of the characters? Could you change anything? Tales from Beacon-Bog is about the way part of society behaves in its general activities. Anyone who has worked in any government office that has contact with the public will recognise the characters and the work that they do. Could you do better?
