  Recently widowed Conor McGuile acquires an antique railcar which he restores and outfits with all the comforts of home. He learns the caboose is haunted by an Indian warrior unjustly accused of robbing a bank courier of a fortune in gold. Conor determines to right the wrong and restore the brave’s reputation.Accompanied by his best friend Néall, the pair set sail for New York from Ireland aboard Conor’s Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe caboose. Conor intends to visit his grandson Cormac (Mack) in the American Southwest, in New Mexico. The journey across the Atlantic Ocean takes a harrowing two months, during which time the friends land on a fantastic mid-ocean seamount. The sole inhabitant of The Unknown Island reveals astounding secrets and incredible coincidences that will affect Conor and Néall for years to come.Once in the New World, Néall, reconciled with his wife, returns home to Derry, Northern Ireland, while McGuile travels across America. He encounters a trainload of interesting characters, from a runaway bride who reminds Conor of his deceased wife to a ten-year-old boy who wants to adopt the old man as his grandfather.Conor’s grandson and his companion, Pedro, abandoned by their parents as teenagers, live in a dilapidated adobe house in Cold Beer, New Mexico. Conor spends a good while disciplining the boys and repairing their tumbledown abode. At last, convinced that the young men are “flying straight,” McGuile, homesick, returns to Ireland where the final pieces of his life fall neatly into place and he realizes the beneficial effects he has had upon all whom he met.

  Yarns on a life lived at a million miles, from beloved broadcaster, podcaster and go-getter Brodie Kane  
    
  'A romp through glorious (and gross) adventures, Brodie writes as if you're her best friend. By the end, you'll really wish you were.' - Kerre Woodham 
  First up: this is absolutely not a guide to life. I've done some impressive stuff, but I've also slept on the floor of an old Greek man's house and lost my dignity in the Brunei jungle. I say yes to everything this life has to offer - I'm from the 'women can have it all' club - and, boy, have I got the stories to show for it. 
  From surf-lifesaving to a hungover Army deployment, being broke with a gum infection in Europe, spooning Richie McCaw on a mountain, improvising make-up for Paul Holmes, running my first ultra-marathon and reinventing myself after redundancy: every wild, brilliant and hilarious experience has taught me something new. Whether it's how not to care about being judged, how to fake it till you make it, how to throw yourself into the unknown or how to push through the pit of despair, I've come to love that we are all works in progress. If I fail from time to time, that's okay too.  
  Open the book of this open book (me). I want to show you the raw, the real and the vulnerable of a full-volume life and how the greatest moments - or at the very least the greatest yarns - come about by just giving it a crack.

  In Mr Mulliner, P.G Wodehouse (1881 -1975) has created a conduit for all manner of tall tales. The amiable gentleman happily regales the drinkers in the Angler’s Rest Pub with fascinating stories, usually about his own relatives, which range from the somewhat dubious, to the downright unbelievable.  
  Welcome to this eccentric world inhabited by Curates and Bishops high on health tonic, and a lovesick chap who utilises beauty remedies to win his love. A world where a deceased author’s cottage appears to exert a sentimental influence on all who enter, and where an earthquake can lead to marriage. 
    
  Wodehouse’s most famous creations the implacable “Jeeves” and the archetypal English toff “Bertie Wooster” are only the tip of the author’s considerable output. A master of humorous prose, he published over ninety books, forty plays and two hundred short stories.  
  Head Stories presents " Meet Mr Mulliner" - narrated by Simon Hester
