About Time and Place

"Time and Place" is a collection of short stories set largely in the same place, but over a period of some thousand years. The stories give an oblique, fanciful picture, sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, of people and society at different stages between a simple, subsistence economy and our modern world. They start with an attempt to exert authority over others, even if that does mean eliminating those who do not share certain ideas. The stories progress through a humorous interpretation of the Norman Conquest, through brutality and war to the anguish of those unable to fully embrace life in all its aspects, and to the final triumph of love, difference and culture. Although very different from one to the next, the stories all affirm basic values such as integrity, compassion and love.
