Trawling in Newspaper archives I gradually accumulate waifs and strays in the form of short stories. Often these are uncollected in book form, or are in collections so obscure that they can't be found. All are in the Life+70 PDF.
A few of those waifs and strays appear here, plus an assortment of crime/detective stories from other collections, some of which are on these forums, to make up a volume and give those waifs and strays a home of sorts.
