Omar the Perfume Seller and other fantastical stories 

This highly entertaining book, ‚Omar the Perfume Seller and other Fantastical Stories‘, is an often tongue-in-cheek, always affectionate, homage to fantasy tales. ‚Omar the Perfume Seller‘ is a cautionary tale that examines the consequences of upsetting a powerful Djinn; ‚Say it with Flowers‘ is a detective story/ murder mystery with a twist, set in an alternative Britain; ‚The Kidnap Kaper‘ is a noir-type story in which a ‚hard-boiled‘ private eye is hired to resolve a kidnapping. Fans of the Brothers Grimm might well recognise the villain! The intriguingly titled ‚The Fabulous and Wonderful Frowla‘ is a Quest Tale unlike any other. It begs to be read and pondered! Finally, two short, award-winning stories, ‚Stag‘ and ‚Gossip‘ round off the collection.
