There are beds you can't sleep in, and snapdragons that don't snap. Did you ever hear a poppy pop? Do the dandelions roar? Do the turnips actually turn? A garden is a confusing place!

When young I often wrote stories, either to fulfil the requirements of school or for my own pleasure. At one point I joined a circle of budding writers; we never met but circulated our tales by post. This was a short-lived experience. The rather harsh criticisms dampened my enthusiasm, it would appear. Thereafter, a working life and family needs pushed the idea of writing largely out of my mind, until that light-bulb moment arrived. Like so many others, I had been playing the popular word game, Scrabble, with family and friends over many years, and more recently a similar internet-based game using a tablet. I decided that, by keeping note of the final medley of words from each game, it might be possible to write a short story utilising some of these words, which might trigger in my mind a setting, a plot or characters of a short tale. One more constraint I imposed was that each story should be no longer than one printed page. So, this I set out to do, and while not every game produced words that fired my imagination, many did. This collection of short stories is the result.

The Crowd In Peace And War is a non-fiction book written by Martin Conway that explores the role of crowds in shaping history during times of peace and war. The book is divided into two parts, with the first half focusing on the impact of crowds on politics, culture, and society during peacetime. The second half of the book examines the role of crowds in times of war, including their impact on military strategy, propaganda, and the formation of national identity.Throughout the book, Conway draws on a range of historical examples to illustrate his arguments, including the French Revolution, the suffragette movement, and the First World War. He also explores the psychological and sociological dynamics of crowd behavior, examining the ways in which individuals can be influenced by the emotions and actions of others in a group setting.Overall, The Crowd In Peace And War offers a fascinating exploration of the power of crowds to shape history and influence the course of events. It is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersection of politics, psychology, and social behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
