The Magic Bus and Other Stories from Wales Paul Barrett

The circus comes to town and leaves with an order from the strange ringmaster for a converted bus that will change the lives of his daughter and a local boy for ever. A boat that has been lying unused on the banks of the River Wye for years and which two boys from the village travel downriver in with two gypsy girls. The last public concert given by the Beatles that brings with it the prospect of romance with a rich man?s daughter. A young boy?s ride in a motorbike side-car that his grandfather is driving that leads to a profitable meeting with some of London?s most notorious gangsters. You will discover something in the themes that make up The Magic Bus and other stories from Wales, which will show that magic, innocent love and ghosts are still an important part of the small country on the edge of the Atlantic that is Wales.
