Short stories - children

Read 'Table of Everything' and take a uniquely funny, crooked, questioning path through life.'You know, sometimes, things happen that promise to make life breezy and blue, but turn out to make things more gluey and orange than before."We were in the bath again, where many great scientific advances have taken place. But not tonight."The pros and cons of the organised method of living. For: always know where things are and what to expect each day. Against: feel like a snake inside a bamboo pole; no surprise at seeing a dinner-plate moon; drawings turn out like circuit diagrams."The Chamber will accept: dead flowers (particularly hospital bouquets), jealousies, regrets (old and current), soured milk and soy milk, chipped paint, toenails (don't have to be yours), foul burps, parking tickets.'Trudy White is a new writer with an original and intriguing voice.
