    About this ebook

    The author has selected twenty-two stories which she hopes are the best from her bountiful collection. Some are based on incidents in her personal life or on issues reported in the media and the others are pure fiction.

    Beautifully written and full of humour, read about Stan and Irene’s hilarious experience of emigrating to ‘Fartie-something, just past Africa’ (Brits Abroad) or the palaver involved in serving Lady Crockford-Browne her morning cup of tea (Early Morning Tea). Once you start the book, you won’t be able to resist reading the next story and the next…

    The QE2 Lady & Other Stories will be followed by the publication of a novel and a novella both set between London and the West of Ireland, as well as Valerie’s personal memoirs.
