Archive Editions 18

This collection comes from 1993 and it answers such questions as:

Why is Dennis talking about Maudie's vitality? What did Gran give Dennis money for? What did he spend it on? What has Dennis done, and why did Mr South call it grotesque? And Dennis feels he needs a clean slate - but why?

Why has Dennis had the best afternoon? Why was Gran the guest of honour? What made Mrs Jeffreys furious? And surely Dennis can't be talking about old whores, can he?

Dennis has had a visitation. What are the Korean allotments? How was Gran's life saved - and by whom?

Why is George Robinson on about fairies? Where do they come from? What did Mrs Jeffreys have in her garden? And why did Dennis make a Mary?

Where can Grunty Fen residents go to be uplifted and transported? What does 'Go nacle eavenly po' mean? What blowed off? Who was Mr Dunslade? Why did Dennis have to look and listen through the hole? Who wasn't Edie up to?
