A Matter of Time Peter Preston

A diverse range of stories in this collection, tales of small decisions with momentous consequences, chance meetings and humour, with a little science fiction and magic woven in for good measure. Stories whose action is set as far apart as Lancashire and Arizona. Tales of ordinary folk, and those not so ordinary. A trainspotter, a furniture maker, a clockmaker... Does the Earl of Wigan exist? Is it possible to write a story without the letter "e"? And what happens when all the clocks in the world stop? There is a spy story, a children's story, a sprinkling of romance, and stories which will surprise, delight and entertain. Whether you can spend a lazy evening within these pages, or just snatch a few moments of quiet in a busy commute, this book has something for you. After all, it's just A Matter Of Time.
