Writings for a Car Boot Sale

Take the Box

In Writings for a Car Boot Sale, Pamela Theophilus Gardner takes readers on a new literary journey with her eclectic mix of writing to suit all moods. In this collection of short, entertaining fiction, fascinating non-fiction and academic essays, there is something for every reader.

The book opens with a series of short stories; a selection of fictional sketches and narrative in a variety of forms, including realistic, fable and drama. This section concludes with a historical story, based on an episode in the life of the potter and ceramic artist, William Billingsley – which links nicely to Pamela’s second collection: non-fiction ceramic mysteries.

Well illustrated, the mysteries are accessible to all readers, with or without an interest in ceramics. Dating from early to late nineteenth century: social history, and the characters populating the stories, feature as strongly as does the porcelain.

A third section comprises more challenging essays. They stem from Pamela’s academic interest and professional experience in diet and health; a blend of science and the politics of food policy.

The book concludes with musings on writing in general. True or untrue.
