These short stories are about accepting life for what it is, the
importance of being an achiever in school and finally, the dangers
of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes.
Kwaaikofski is ’n privaatspeurder. Hy het nou eenmaal ’n talent
daarvoor. Gee hom ’n glas melk, Carpenters kougom en sy spesiale kep en
hy is gereed vir enigiets! Hierdie omnibus bevat drie van Speurder
Kwaaikofski se gewildste avonture vir beginnerlesers. Hierdie keer krap
’n ander speurder krap in sy slaai, hy moet uitvind wie Olga
se luukse motor beskadig het en hy beland boonop in die kollig
op die verhoog . . .

An anthology of dark, powerful and moving short stories from a
master storyteller and Hans Christian Andersen Award winning
author, inspired by his childhood in the north-east of England. A
diverse collection of stories from the author of the
internationally award-winning Skellig, deftly interwoven with
illuminating autobiographical pieces on the inspirations behind the
fiction. David Almond says of this unique volume, "Stories on the
page are so beautifully neat. All that lovely black print; those
lovely straight lines and paragraphs and pages. But stories are
living things, creatures that move and grow in the imaginations of
writer and reader. They must be solid and touchable, like the land,
and must have fluid half-known depths, like the sea. These stories
take place in a real world - but in fiction, real worlds merge with
dreamed worlds. Real people walk with ghosts and figments. Earthly
truth goes hand-in-hand with watery lies."
