A lecturer cornered in an embarrassing menage a trois, a Glaswegian Cinderella and an extremely talkative dentist all feature in this collection of tales, that bring together social realism, sexual comedy, science fiction and satire.

A collection of the polymath Gray's works: some strange, some sweet, some sting a little. His unique voice is apparent in each of the tales, at times self-depricating in others self-assured, sarcastic and acerbic yet down-to-earth. The text is lifted further by his strangely beautiful illustrations. The final tale brought a tear to my eye and reminded me just how much I, we, miss him (and Archie too) “teachers everyone”.
