In his Stories of Other Worlds, Colin Everard introduces us to the concept that we usually ‘feel’ that we live and function in our particular ‘World’. In his wonderful collection of short stories, he tells us about other ‘Worlds’. His Stories are disparate; although, without exception, they are authoritatively informative, and sometimes they are inevitably dramatic. From desert locust plagues in the Horn of Africa, to the Indian Caste System, to skiing in ‘Heaven’, his range of knowledge and vision seems limitless. But however incredible the circumstances in which he finds himself, his feet remain firmly on the ground, down to earth.
