The Horse Handler

This second book of short stories covers times and events when ordinary folk had to deal with the aftermath. Men were called to arms to become reluctant heroes, while at home their loved ones coped with hard times and longed for peace.

The tales move on to better but still challenging times as, over the years, they deal with a wide variety of characters, some honest and others not so.

From a less complicated age, some people involved here were real, but the yarns built around them are works of a stretched imagination.

The pages quickly turn to touch on humour, skullduggery, sensitivity and a little romance in middle England over several decades.
