Mcmanaman's new book is out

One of our very long standing ABCtales contributers, macmanaman, has got his first book out this week. It's called 'Radio Head: Up and Down the Dial of British Radio' by John Osborne. It's a subject close to my heart so I'll be buying a copy this week and I hope that many of you will do likewise. Congratulations to John and here's the link to purchasing the book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Radio-Head-Down-Dial-British/dp/1847372309/ref=s...

Bright Riddler

Bright riddler, thou whom hast led me in this dance for hour upon hour, in spring rain or winter shower, I have a word for thine ear alone.

Beauty is a Beast

Beauty is a beast, it haunts me nightly, stalking me in the shadows of my boudoir, from beyond the far reaches of the midnight hour.

Alunagh's Well

Once I recall there was a time when gentle hearts the world did rule, when equal voice was given to the king and the fool.
