Schreiben war schon immer ein wichtiger Teil des Lebens von William Lewis, von professionellen Berichten über Buchbesprechungen bis hin zu Gedichten und Songtexten. Als er er Flash Fiction entdeckte, eröffnete ihm das neue Wege der Kreativität. Er genießt besonders die Knappheit und die Möglichkeiten der Kurzform. Einige seiner Geschichten sind leicht und humorvoll, andere sind düsterer. Die Kooperation mit den Göttinger Künstler:innen, die die Geschichten in diesem Buch illustriert haben, entstand aufgrund der Städtepartnerschaft, die Göttingen und Cheltenham verbindet. Bei einem Partnerschaftsbesuch lin Göttingen in 2019 ernte William Lewis aus Cheltenham Greta Mindermann-Lynen und Christiane Christen kennen, beide Mitglieder der Göttinger Künstlervereinigung Kreis 34. So entstand die Idee, Williams Geschichten in einem illustrierten Buch herauszugeben. Christiane Christen übersetzte die teils sehr skurrilen Geschichten ins Deutsche und leitete sie an die Künstler:innen des Kreis 34 weiter, die sich zu Illustrationen in ganz verschiedenen Stilrichtungen inspirieren ließen. Dank der freundlichen und großzügigen Unterstützung der Städtepartnerschaftsvereine Cheltenhams und Göttingens, der Stadt Cheltenham und der Stadt Göttingen konnte ein schönes Buch mit 13 Geschichten auf Englisch mit deutscher Übersetzung und mit 27 Illustrationen gedruckt werden. Dies ist nun schon die zweite Geschichtensammlung, die veröffentlicht wird.

Inspired to write this story. I acquired a piano student--a five-year-old girl who had a serious form of cancer. One day out in the parking lot of the church buying pumpkins, I told the pastor about this little girl. In the parking lot, the pastor said, "Let's pray for that girl." The pastor, the pumpkin sellers, and I prayed for the little girl. That was on a Tuesday. Instead of the little girl sitting down next to me, the mother sat down and said, "You're not going to believe this. We just got back." From the hospital, the doctor said that she was absolutely cancer-free. Pegasus.

Victor Pearn is indeed “A man for all seasons.” This is my conclusion after feasting upon each delicious morsel of his poetry. It is my belief that Victor Pearn’s poetry will be considered to be among the finest works of poetry in both the Twentieth Century and our New Millennium. He has the unique gift of expressing in poetry what is otherwise inexpressible. His word pictures make you feel like you are there experiencing the things he describes so vividly. Victor also possesses the unique ability of being both tough minded and tender hearted. He is one of those rare individuals whose writings are both sweet and reasonable. His poetry reflects who he is today and where he has been, as he is a child of the Sixties and Seventies who has tasted both the bitter and the sweet and has come through those refining trials as a man who has lived what his poetry teaches. I am proud to commend Victor Pearn’s poetry to all who are hungry and thirsty for a special literary feast. Dr. Jerry Gibson

According to the author, "Grandmother skills" are disappearing because in our highly mobile society, women may now remain in the workforce or live far from their grandchildren. Elgin (The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense), herself a grandmother to 10, attempts to fill this gap by providing grandmothers of all types and ages with this chatty and good-natured guide to successful grandmothering. Included among Elgin's 21 sensible principles are advice for mediating family disputes, tips for helping grandchildren with money problems while maintaining one's own financial solvency, as well as the importance of passing down family myths and stories to the next generation. Elgin also discusses family crises or illnesses when it may become necessary for a grandmother to take over the running of the household of one of her children (whom she coyly refers to as a "chadult"). Elgin firmly believes that once the emergency is over, a grandmother must return the household to the parents as soon as possible and gracefully return home. Elgin includes lots of nitty gritty advice but most of her book is aimed at reminding readers how to give families the advantage of their experience without giving in to the frailties of age. “ 35 b/w illustrations
