BURNING DESIRE and other short stories. "A mixture of Saki and Roald Dahl," was the description by one reader of the author`s previous collection. "But not for maiden aunts," was another. Now here are 20 more short stories and skits: funny, often scandalous and with a strong flavour of absurdity. So feelings become inflamed in Burning Desire, entrance to the Pearly Gates has unexpected rewards, a Wedding Toast contains startling revelations, and how do you deal with that suspicious package you find in someone else`s car? A psychiatrist is mystified by his strange patient, a head-teacher plans a remarkable way of getting rid of awful parents, a catty dispute between neighbours gets increasingly irate, a taxi driver discovers that he has a most unusual passenger, a boy is torn between loving his teacher and loving her parrot, a girl-friend dumps her boy-friend or does she? Many of these and other stories and skits come with the author`s speciality: a twist.
