Mmmmm

Mmmmm - You'll always wonder!

Quirky, imaginative stories which will make you think. What's fact, what's fiction? A real ghost town named 'Happy Go Lucky'; famous jewellery thieves; the laughable, unbelievable case of a stolen Picasso; the day Reg died - ironically; the pen is mightier than the sword; a young man’s first attempt at smuggling; stories of hope, love, revenge, ambition; and finishing with a story which asks the biggest question of all - Is it possible?

Stories created in the spirit of Roald Dahl, Mmmmm is an eclectic collection of unexpected tales.
