The
Binscombe Tales are set in John Whitbourn's ancestral homeland, in southern
England's "Downs Country', wherein ten generations (at least) of
Whitbourns have lived out blameless yeoman lives. Aiding and abetting
him there are his wife and three children (generation eleven!). Please
consider their crying need for toys and treats and buy this book.
The second of a two-volume set that collects all the tales in the saga,
it contains twelve stories, five of which are published here for the first
time. There is also an introduction by the author, and a lengthy afterword
in which he discusses plots and ideas for several Binscombe Tales which
will never, alas, be written.
