Book Description
The first Tinker Tale popped out over fifteen years ago and they just keep a-coming. Die Schwarzwitwe (Black Widow) starts this collection, introducing Tinker and a couple of ongoing characters: Magic John-a gutter mage, and Red the Ted-a psychic bruiser of advancing years. It also introduces the theme of magic as Tinker begins his reluctant evolution into a magician with an exorcism. This one is for Vincent fans. Other characters follow. In Hard Iain a warrior Pict ancestor vectors into Tinker via a miscegenated motorcycle, precipitating a fiery immolation. Death, in the unlikely form of a young girl, thumbs a lift from Tinker in Free Ride and him to introduces Anarch, the irascible personification of Freedom. Problems with law and order follow, plus a gifting that effectively ensures a hands-off with Death. Iain resurfaces in Pictoglyph to tell the tale of his heroic demise, set Tinker a heavy task, and leave his mark. In Death in the Dam a cute little Reaper comes to claim an old friend from Tinkers misspent youth whos run out of road. Away with the fairies at Underhills annual market, Buyer Beware finds Tinker buying a pup, amongst other things, and rescuing a maiden from goblins. Bonzo, the pup, shows his stuff in Boodgie Woodgie when Tinker takes him busking and the Law butts in. The next tale, Alfie, has Tinker acting as advocate for an old sinner while a demon prosecutes and Death sits in judgement. Lastly, in Time Passages, a trip to the past discovers Tinker confronting his younger self and Jean, the ill-fated love of his life. A choice to make and a life at stake. Sadder, wiser hopefully, Tinker faces the future--perhaps in Tinker Tales Two? Regular readers of Back Street Heroes magazine may have seen some of these stories before, some of the characters may even seem vaguely familiar. Actually, there is a fair bit of reality in the mix, fact frequently being no stranger to fiction. Resemblance to anyone living, dead, or ethereal is but coincidental. Anyone offended by Tinker, or any other character, should remember theyre the stuff of which dreams are made, and who can claim to control a dream? Literate biker fiction may seem oxymoronic, some may be surprised they can actually read. Tinker Tales attempts, not only to entertain, but to counter the negative reputation motorcycling and magic has acquired. If the author succeeds in that, it is enough.

Book Description
Recognised on its first appearance as the most comprehensive single-volume guide to The Canterbury Tales yet produced, this third edition brings the Tales up to date in relation both to recent criticism and to the changing expectations of modern readers. The Guide provide tale-by-tale information on textual variations and sources, together with a readable commentary on thematic issues, structure, style, generic affiliations, and the contribution of each tale to the work as a whole. It concludes with a survey of the many imitations of the tales down to the early seventeenth century. This new edition also takes account of the latest scholarship, theory, and criticism and new interpretations of the tales, including such matters as gender identity, consent, and racial and religious difference. The book is the most comprehensive single-volume guide to the Tales yet produced, bringing together a wide range of disparate material and providing a readable commentary on all aspects of the work. It combines the comprehensive coverage of a reference book with the clarity and coherence of a critical account. Since its first publication in 1989, the Guide has established itself as an indispensable aid for any reader looking to develop their understanding of The Canterbury Tales.
