    About this ebook

    From Enchantment to Horror, from Angels to Devils, from Laughter to Weeping, take your pick: they're all there for you!

    – If you like to shiver with dread, there's some there for you.
    – If your fetish is cats, Kitty might just fit the bill. 
    – If you're into stories of nurses, there's Rosie for you. 
    – If you are dreaming of riches, Squiffy could show you a way.
    – If you're in a tight fix, Sid bought time, so could you.
    – If you're Irish or Scottish, a Fling with Paddy might do.
    – If you're big into hacking, Millicent could give you some tips. 
    – If you're down and out, you just might like Fred.
    – If your child's really gifted; you'll steer clear of soup. 
    – If you're seriously into robots, see Doris and Ben.

    And when at last you've read all of them, take a deep breath and read them again.
