Ten Sorry Tales

Ten Sorry Tales

Mick Jackson

Faber Faber
2006
pokkari
From the pen of Mick Jackson, author of The Underground Man and Five Boys, come these ten acclaimed tales. Featuring undertakers, dark forests, resurrected butterflies and a singularly mean-spirited horse, the stories are nevertheless rooted in the realistic and all too recognisable world of retirement, loneliness, and childhood boredom. By turns funny, scary and heartbreaking, they are always illuminating, and further evidence of one of the most original and brilliant imaginations in contemporary fiction.

The Widow's Tale

The Widow's Tale

Mick Jackson

Faber Faber
2011
pokkari
A newly-widowed woman has done a runner. She just jumped in her car, abandoned her (very nice) house in north London and kept on driving until she reached the Norfolk coast. Now she's rented a tiny cottage and holed herself away there, if only to escape the ceaseless sympathy and insincere concern. She's not quite sure, but thinks she may be having a bit of a breakdown. Or perhaps this sense of dislocation is perfectly normal in the circumstances. All she knows is that she can't sleep and may be drinking a little more than she ought to. But as her story unfolds we discover that her marriage was far from perfect. That it was, in fact, full of frustration and disappointment, as well as one or two significant secrets, and that by running away to this particular village she might actually be making her own personal pilgrimage. By turns elegiac and highly comical, The Widow's Tale conjures up this most defiantly unapologetic of narrators as she begins to pick over the wreckage of her life and decide what has real value and what she should leave behind.

Any young child anticipating a move will connect with--and smile at--this fanciful, warmly humorous picture book debut from a literary author and an award-winning illustrator. When a little boy learns that his family will be moving house, he's curious and excited. What else could that mean but having their house hoisted up by cranes and moved from one location to another? He imagines his wonderful house winding its way through narrow streets, maybe even sailing down the river--and himself traveling with it, waving to everyone as they pass. But when it turns out he'll actually be saying goodbye to his first-ever home, with its familiar nooks and hideaways, he's suddenly not so sure. Maybe if he can bring all his special things--and has his family around him--the move will still be an adventure? With whimsy and nuance, author Mick Jackson and illustrator Rashin Kheiriyeh explore a potentially fraught childhood passage in this delightful, touching story that will serve as a valuable resource for parents and young ones alike.
