Christopher Arthur 
Ophelia and Other Stories 

These stories move about, taking some existential liberties, and include the occasional dark episode, while at the same time, they are laced with humour and the occasional lightness of touch, though they tend not to be politically correct! Above all, they set out to entertain. Living and working in Durham, their author likes to think of himself as working in the tradition of Hugh Walpole, who wrote his famous stories in the same neck of the woods.
