About this book:

’S e seo a’ chiad chruinneachadh de na sgeulachdan goirid aig Maoilios Caimbeul, a tha a’ sìneadh gu iomadh àite, bho Pharis gu Ierusalem, bho Nis gu Henley-on-Thames. Tha feadhainn dhiubh èibhinn agus feadhainn eile nas doimhne agus tha iad a’ dol air ais agus air adhart ann an tìm. Coinnichidh sinn ri teaghlach a chaidh a losgadh a-mach às an dachaigh aca ann am Bad an Loisgein anns an 19mh linn agus ri Cindy agus Dez a shiubhail gu Màrs agus air ais. Coinnichidh sinn ri Tim, am feòil-sheachnair à Glaschu agus ris an Urramach Bhaltair MacAnndrais agus am mèirleach a thug dùbhlan dha air an trèan. Tha an saoghal os-nàdarra a’ suathadh ri ceithir de na sgeulachdan. Cruinneachadh tlachdmhor a bhios na adhbhar gàire agus na adhbhar smaoineachaidh don leughadair.        

Myles Campbell's first collection of short stories is set in a wide variety of locations - from Paris to Jerusalem, from Ness to Henley-on-Thames - and many points in time. We meet a family burnt out of their home in the 19th century Highland Clearances, and Cindy and Dez who travel to Mars and back. We meet Tim, the vegetarian in Glasgow and the Reverend Walter Anderson challenged by a thief on a train. A variety of styles from light and amusing to some stories which are deeper and darker, with the supernatural world appearing from time to time, makes for both an entertaining and thought-provoking read.
