THIS anthology follows on from the critically acclaimed debut volume The Writing on the Wall.
This is the middle volume of a three-year Arts Alliance Pine Rivers project
to showcase the writing and artistic talents of a local community.
This second anthology add a smattering of poetry, ranging from the comic
through parodies to the lyrical.
In both words and illustrations, contributors range from people who earn
or have earned a living from writing or art to those being published for the
first time. The age range of the authors is from 16 to writers in their 80s. At
least two of our authors do not have English as a first language. Two of the
contributors are 16-year-olds, Sarah Hewitt-Howell and Maddi Mitchell.

The stories range in style from humour to dark tales.
In this volume darker stories dominate, perhaps attesting to a bleak
house at the centre of today’s world But even sombre stories have the power to
uplift.

Some of the illustrations are from award-winning international artists
which is a huge bonus.

This volume and its sequel Sweet
and Sour combine for the perfect gidt for someone with a keen eye for a
literary, albeit with some flaws, among the genres.
