And not just a single Jesus, he''s going for a full half-dozen so that each of the world''s major religions can have one. It''s a really bad idea.In Brentford they''ve had a really good idea. They''re holding the Millennial Celebrations two years early to avoid the rush. It''s a tradition, or an old charter, or something. And it promises to be the party of this, or any other, century. Unless, of course, something REALLY BAD was to happen...Described as a ''stark raving genius'' (Observer), Robert Rankin has once again surpassed himself in his latest creation.

The Simple Soul And Other Stories - Catherine Cookson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This treasure trove of talent is set against the background of places already familiar to Catherine Cookson''s countless readers - the North-East, the South Coast and London, with a time-scale stretching from the 1920''s to the present day.In the title story, a disillusioned husband decides to call on an office colleague he has always slightly despised, and finds himself having to re-evaluate his own family relationships in the light of what he discovers in the other''s home. In the three stories that make up ''The Forbidden Word'', the first set in the 1920s, the second in the 1950s and the third in the1980s, Catherine Cookson traces the changes in attitudes to marriage and pregnancy that have taken place in the last eighty years.In other stories a shy bachelor begins to make friends for the first time in his life among the people who like himself have taken refuge from the Blitz in the London Underground, and a much put-upon young woman who makes up her own mind to escape from her family''s domestic exploitation of her. The reader catches a glimpse behind the scenes in a large department store, and learns of the havoc that a husband''s passion for cricket can cause.
