Mike Joslin's first book is an imaginative and varied collection of human-interest stories and verses. In these short, thoughtful pieces he has sought to describe life's vicissitudes, yet he is determined never to let life depress or defeat him. From science fiction fantasies to tales of marital infidelity and misadventures afloat, each piece is a work of imagination at play. The philosophical and psychological are to be found in these pages, mixed with the gently humorous and a sense of the ridiculous. The intriguing twists and turns of the stories that he reveals to us very often have amusing outcomes. The author encourages us to laugh at ourselves and our human frailties, and to see that despite our differences we all have much in common
