Praise for Ox-Tales:
'A fabulous insight into the literary landscape today Aesthetica An admirable and ingenious idea... There are many gems... This collection disproves claims that the short story is on its last legs. It is also a rare treat to be able to read literature that literally improves the world -- Sebastian Shakespeare, Tatler
