    An Apple for the Teacher

    About this ebook

    Nine short stories about people who find themselves in situations that nudge them into facing facts, taking risks, taking action or taking umbrage, and one fable. The settings include beaches, suburbia, small towns, a party, a school, a committee room and a hearth, where wise advice falls on deaf ears - as it usually does.
