Charles Nevin Boeken

A charming collection of short stories, all based in Bath.

Lancashire is portrayed as a vibrant and culturally rich region, often misrepresented as grim due to historical stereotypes. The narrative challenges these misconceptions, highlighting the county's wit, romance, and influence beyond its borders. It emphasizes the unique character of its people, who have long sought sophistication and connection with the wider world. The text references notable cultural landmarks and figures, such as Balzac and Shakespeare, to illustrate Lancashire’s significant contributions to art and literature, inviting readers to reconsider its true essence.

General Haig, Noel Coward, Butch Cassidy, Margaret Thatcher's bloomers and a racehorse strongly resembling Shergar feature in So Last Century, the new collection of astute and witty stories from award-winning journalist and author Charles Nevin.
