Sinopse

In 1960s Reading, ten-year-old Billy McCarty’s life changes when his aunt arrives from America with an unexpected gift: a denim jacket stitched with the name Billy the Kid.
 
Sharing the same name with the legendary outlaw sparks something in Billy, inspiring him to lead his own gang of mischief-makers. From chasing ghosts in abandoned mansions to skinny-dipping escapades gone embarrassingly wrong, Billy, Pinky, and Porky find trouble wherever they go.
 
But beneath their adventures, Billy carries the weight of loss and a growing awareness of something bigger guiding his path. As strange coincidences start to shape his journey, Billy begins to wonder if destiny has a hand in his story after all.
 
A warm, nostalgic adventure set in 1960s England, A KID CALLED BILLY is a coming-of-age tale full of humour, heart, and a dash of the extraordinary.

    Retail never changes, no matter the system used to run it. 
     
     
     
    When Arthur Clark, wage slave and bookworm, takes a bat to the head, he assumes his days of dreary counter minding are over. Instead, a dragon who calls herself a goddess gives him an offer he can't refuse. The job is simple on the surface, manage a store in an apocalyptic city and bring her currency to the people there. 
     
     
     
    Upon arrival at his new home, he finds himself with little more than the clothes on his back and the equivalent of a child's lemonade stand. 
     
     
     
    Alone in an unfamiliar world, Arthur must manage his store, collect new employees, and hunt down his own merchandise. All in a city filled with a variety of threats, both human and not. 
     
     
     
    With taxes owed to the goddess, he'll need to deal with all types to keep up with his bottom line. Wannabe knights, starving survivors, and gangsters who watched too many mafia movies are only a few of the new customers who'll grace his doorstep. Now all he needs to do is to avoid being taken over long enough to call himself an actual manager . . .

    An elderly woman recalls being trapped in a remote village as an adolescent. A boy goes exploring on his new tricycle, but what does he discover? Two friends attempt to visit an ancient monument, only to find their plans are disrupted. A librarian is asked to give a lecture on the cataloguing of dreams. A curate's obsession with an Anglo-Saxon saint causes him to neglect his parish duties.
    
    Most of these 24 stories involve a mystery, sometimes revealed through fantasy or folklore. Memory and a sense of place are common themes of many of them. Some of the places are real and can be visited today; others are imaginary. Three of the stories are very short (about 250 words) and could be classed as flash fiction; another is long enough to be considered a novella.
    
    The stories were written over the last 50 years and reflect the author's changing interests and his developing ideas of structure. Can you guess which is the earliest story and which the latest?
