"Royston and district writers' circle 30th anniversary anthology" (2009)

In the introduction it says "we all aspire to write a novel". There are poems, radio scripts, poems, articles and stories - more variety than in many anthologies, and more PoVs of cats and dogs. I prefer the prose to the poetry.

  • "A Day in the life ..." has the horn from "Lord of the flies" as the PoV - I like the idea.
  • "Healing herb?" is a 50 word story where each word starts with "H".
  • "Moonshine" uses a fun idea. I don't think it quite works in the end, but it was worth a try.
