This highly entertaining book, ‘Omar the Perfume Seller and other Fantastical Stories’, is an often tongue-in-cheek, always affectionate, homage to fantasy tales. ‘Omar the Perfume Seller’ is a cautionary tale that examines the consequences of upsetting a powerful Djinn; ‘Say it with Flowers’ is a detective story/ murder mystery with a twist, set in an alternative Britain; ‘The Kidnap Kaper’ is a noir-type story in which a ‘hard-boiled’ private eye is hired to resolve a kidnapping. Fans of the Brothers Grimm might well recognise the villain! The intriguingly titled ‘The Fabulous and Wonderful Frowla’ is a Quest Tale unlike any other. It begs to be read and pondered! Finally, two short, award-winning stories, ‘Stag’ and ‘Gossip’ round off the collection.
