When I was a small boy I dreaded the policeman; when I grew older I feared the bookseller. And as the years go by I find that my dread of the policeman has quite evaporated, but my fear of the bookseller grows upon me. I had an idea as a boy that one day a policeman, mistaking my identity, would snatch me up and hurl me into some horrid little dungeon, where I might languish for many a long day. But since I have grown up I have discovered that it is only the bookseller who does that sort of thing. And in his case he does it deliberately and of malice aforethought. It is no case of mistaken identity; he knows who you are, and he knows you are innocent. But he has his dungeon ready. The bookseller is a very dangerous person, and every member of the community should guard against his blandishments.

Frank Boreham was a master of storytelling, his love of nature and experiences of life providing an array of topics, published in collections such as this.Blessed with a gift for drawing all manner of interesting reflections from everyday things, Boreham builds stories out of slippers, holly trees, a visit to the doctor's, the scent of perfume, and the verdant fields near a village. Peppering his passages with wisdom and folksy observations plus snatches of poetic verse, the sum of the author's efforts are heartwarming anecdotes and musings of lasting appeal. Popular for decades in the early 20th century, Boreham retains a devoted audience to this day, his love of life and nature an eternal draw.The author worked as a pastor in England and Australia; the contrasting cultures and landscapes, and the journeys he took betwixt and between, were fertile ground for inspiration. His clergyman trade provided yet more sustenance for writing; in order to do his job well, Boreham had to cultivate wisdom to properly serve and assure members of his church community - humane qualities which are displayed in so many of his books.
