Sinopse

Thames Valley Tales is a light-hearted yet thought-provoking collection of nine stories by Tim Walker. These tales are based on the author's experience of living in Thames Valley towns, and combine contemporary themes with the rich history and legends associated with an area stretching from London to beyond Windsor and Oxford, and then into the heart of rural England.

The collection includes The Goldfish Bowl, in which an unlikely friendship is struck between a pop star and an arms dealer living on Millionaire’s Row in Goring-on-Thames and Maidenhead Thicket, selected as short story of the month by a US-based online magazine and described as "a very nicely rendered story." It features the ghost of the legendary highwayman, Dick Turpin.

The White Horse is a story built around the famous white horse carving on the Berkshire Downs, recently dated as being 1000 years older than previously thought.

Murder at Henley Regatta is an intriguing whodunit. The Colnbrook Caper is a pacey crime thriller.

The collection kicks off with the Grey Lady, an historical ghost story, and features The Merry Women of Windsor in a whimsical updating of Shakespeare's classic play.

The author’s notes explains the context and reasoning behind each story.

Thames Valley Tales oscillates from light-hearted to dark historical, and at times, humorous stories ideally suited to bedtime or holiday listening that will amuse, delight, and hopefully, inform the listener about the rich history of the Thames Valley as it winds 215 miles from the Gloucestershire countryside, past many towns and villages to London and out to the North Sea. The book also has a factual chapter and map of the Thames Valley showing the towns through which the 184-mile Thames Path passes. It is a walk-through history and the natural beauty of England that will inspire and captivate.
