A Teaspoon of Giggles

About the Book

In this new collection of short stories, the imaginary residents of a particularly colourful region of Victoria in Australia lead lives of such sheer oddness that their stores had to be told. Most of them work without great enthusiasm for apparently harmless businesses. They ignore that, the companies are secretly involved in illegal activities run by one of the most feared criminal bosses in Melbourne. In this rollicking collection of short stories set in this eccentric little community, successful immigrants, hen-pecked husbands, terrified schoolboys, and bickering sisters have to figure out what to do when unpleasant deaths, delightful love affairs, and hungry crocodiles settle in. And whatever may happen, the secret hidden at the bottom of the lake will remain a secret—and laughter will survive! A Teaspoon of Giggles offers an example of the wicked humour of a man who likes to observe, tease, and mock the lovely people who live around him.
