Most of these stories have appeared in print somewhere or other over the last four years or so. They will have seen the light in the local village paper or a series of collections published by a group of local authors.
They are all set in or near to the Oxfordshire Village of Long Hanborough and include some actual events and places woven between my fevered imagination. I think of them as a set of untold tales that may or may not have happened. They were not written in the order they are presented here.
In Saxon Evening, Viking Dawn we meet Rose the first lady of Hanbrough as the village comes into being, Stranger on Coffin Path promises exactly what we deserve, in Sapphire and Frost we encounter a locked room murder at the Manor and when you come to the House at the End of the Lane, please, don't go in. Then there are the Sacrifices made by a modest war hero, Art and Artifice shows us that nothing is what it seems and in Killing Time at the Bodleian if we really are alone at night in the famous old library, who's that in the dark?
I hope there is something here for everyone...if not then why not put pen to paper and have a go...
