Short Story Main Index Page. The short story section has been updated and a greater number of stories added. There are now 33 stories. July 2008 The stories fall into two groups each forming the chapters of two books. The stories can be read in any order because they are all self contained, but the first and last chapters should be read in that order. The first chapter gives the starting outline for all the other chapters and the last chapter rounds things off. So far there are two index pages one for each book so far. Index One - The Tatty Knickers Index Two - The Voyage of the Beagle Pup
1. Index One The Tatty Knickers These are about two young lads who one summer find them selves looking for a new pub for Mrs Jabody to buy. They are about food, sport, pubs and the relationship between two young men who are desperately trying not to be available for selection in the fireman's reserve football team. 19 stories
2. Index Two The Voyage of the Beagle Pup The one dream Mr Pepperday always had, was to go on a safari, catching and studying animals in the wild. The war, lack of money or opportunity had pushed this dream to the back of Mr Pepperdays mind. This dream however was resurrected when Mr Pepperday began reading the journals of Charles Darwin, an account of the great expedition on HMS Beagle. Mr Pepperday started to get very depressed, but this depression gradually turned itself into a strange determination to have just one last fling and to go on that expedition. 13 stories
