Story and Poem of the Week and Inspiration Point

A very big thank you, not just to everyone who's posted their stories and poems on ABCTales this week, but also to those who've been generous enough to take the time to leave comments and suggestions on other people's work. 

Before checking out the weekly picks, please do read 'A Letter To ABCTales Friends' by skinner_jennifer. A long time member of our site, Jenny is undergoing some gruelling treatment and has been much missed by us all, so it was lovely to hear from her:

My choice for Story of the Week goes to Steve Hoselitz for his fascinating four part account of a trip by bus to India in the early 1970s, well before mass tourism. It's one of the best travel series we've had and a must read:
