Tá chuile chineál scéalaíochta i measc na gcéad scéal a chuireann an fear dána seo os comhair an léitheora. Tá an gearrscéal fuinte clasaiceach ann agus an dréacht fantaisíochta, an parabal agus an eachtra, an fáthscéal agus an fabhalscéal, agus scéalta nár ceapadh aon ghaistí lipéadacha fós dóibh.

Alan Titley is a prolific short story writer who moves beyond Ireland to enlarge international themes. The hundred short fictions in this, his third collection, illustrates with affinity the sharp acerbic humour that inspired the original tale-bearers in the major work of Boccaccio, The Decameron. A poetic sensibility gives marvellous tonality to the story-telling.
