Review: Dancing and Other Stories

I started reading this collection of short stories almost at random.  I wanted something short to read that I could finish at a sitting and this fitted the bill.  Within a few pages I was thoroughly enjoying them.  There is a mixtures of genres here – women at a crisis point in their lives, ghostly happenings on the underground which will scare the living daylights out of any authors reading ‘Piccadilly Line’ and a rather neat, though accidental death.I particularly enjoyed ‘Dryad’ which is something out of the ordinary and I’m still thinking about it more than twenty four hours after finishing it.  I also enjoyed ‘The Custard Cream Army’ – having a particular liking for custard creams myself but also because it is a meeting of generations in a very productive way.  These stories are well written and entertaining and I would recommend them to anyone who enjoys short stories as well as those who think that short stories are always about ‘boy meets girl’.
