Philip Marshall: Short Stories

Fire from Heaven and Other Stories
Philip Marshall

"A delightful selection of short stories, Fire from Heaven is sure to bring a smile to your face. On more than one occasion you may find yourself laughing out loud as I did.
"Populated by a small community of interesting and often lovable characters who appear and reappear in one another's stones, Fire from Heaven is a gently compelling read. The scholarly Rabbi Liebowitz, translator of ancient texts, and his intuitive dog Red; Mr McCorkindale the schoolmaster; the burly, gentle-hearted Bulstrode; Pike the reluctant sportsman; world renowned preacher, author, diplomat and spiritual adviser to the White House, Dr Atherton Grainge and the swaggering PK are just some of the characters whose lives you will peek into and whose foibles you will find yourself sympathising with . . ."

The Eight Wise Sayings
Philip Marshall, with illustrations by Angela Lane

The story of a king who went on a journey in search of wisdom in the company of his scribe.
"Primarily it is a children's book which offers moral instruction in a fairytale setting. . . It is playfully written and attempts to both capture something of the ancient Mediterranean and underline that the best wisdom in life is always shared."
