"The Macaroon Chronicles" is a romp through relationships amongst some
anthropomorphic characters. It is one of those quirky books that awakes
your sense of humour. Come and follow the fun.Take a tour of the exotic
Isle of Macaroon with Eddie and his zany friends who will be pleased to
show you the cheese mines, Meringue Mountains and the Custard River
while they flee unscrupulous promoters, bandit badgers and low-flying
seagulls. But a word of advice – don’t refer to Eddie as a chicken, he
thinks he’s a bald eagle. And don’t mention Brian’s small stature, he’s
rather sensitive about his size. Oh, and don’t call Brian a monkey, he’s
actually a lemur. And finally, if Gideon takes a pen out of his pocket
and you value your life – duck.

A boring post box. Five knitters. Can one woman convert a post box into a work of artistic genius?
Vera
Twinge is a natural leader. As chairperson of the newly formed Creaping
Bottom Post Box Topper Society, she’s determined to make a splash in
the village’s High Road with a stunning new post box topper for each
month. But she’s constantly obstructed by an unscrupulous journalist, an
insulted hairdresser and a possible mass murderer. Urging her society
members on to create more ingenious toppers, Vera refuses to be
defeated. But with negative reports in the local newspaper, a revenge
haircut and the threat of alien invasion, Vera wonders if she is up to
the task.
Will Vera and her post box topper society
expose the strange happenings in Creaping Bottom and keep their beloved
post box an object of beauty?
The Basilwade stories were originally published on the CaféLit website,
where you can access short stories that go nicely with a cuppa. We even
suggest a drink! Dawn Knox’s stories contain characters and situations
that may seem a little larger than life at first glance but we can soon
see that everyone involved is very human. And don’t we all recognise the
quirkiness of village/small-town life?

would you find so many zany characters to delight and surprise?
