From the pen of Mick Jackson, author of The Underground Man and Five Boys, come these ten acclaimed tales.
"'Wonderfully macabre, crookedly comic short stories... Jackson is a genuine English eccentric.' Trevor Lewis, Sunday Times 'I'm pretty sure an eight-year-old would love the weirdness of Ten Sorry Tales. So, too, would a teenager. Me? I loved them.' Kate Chisholm, Sunday Telegraph"
Mick Jackson's second novel,
Five Boys (2001), was described in the
Sunday Times as 'vibrant, happily eccentric and a joy to read.' His previous novel,
The Underground Man (1998), was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Whitbread First Novel Award, and was the winner of the Royal Society of Authors' First novel Award. He lives in Brighton.
