AS A LITERARY FORM, the novella has several distinct advantages: in being longer than a short story, it can spin its yarn with greater complexity; but, being shorter than a novel, it can readily occupy those quieter times when we are waiting for a bus, or a friend for coffee, or simply enjoying the peaceful hour before sleep.
So, lucky reader, you are in for a treat. The six novellas in this volume are all very different. Here you will visit an enchanted forest, be shocked by living dolls, and caught up in the bleak world of asylum-seekers. You will also be introduced to the triumph and sadness of Ernest Rutherford’s life, captivated by the dinosaur being constructed next door, and follow the intricate, tattooed path of medical discovery.
Enjoy it, as Paper Road Press gives you ‘six of the best’.
