The Virgin Sardine
By Eileen Dickson, Elaine Douglas, Vera Morris, Julie Roberts and Eve Wibberley (Jennifer Smith)
Illustrated by Sue Tait
I enjoyed the book tremendously; what talented writers! I have read short stories before but never found them very interesting as they did not seem to have much substance to them but these were excellent.

Fish Pie and Laughter
By Eileen Dickson, Elaine Douglas, Vera Morris, Julie Roberts and Eve Wibberley (Jennifer Smith)
Illustrated by Sue Tait
From the beginning to the end I found this an interesting and thought provoking read.
Each writer has her own distinct voice and unique style. Halfway through the book it is not difficult to guess who has written the short piece of reminiscence or short story before reaching the author’s signature.
The illustrations by Sue Tait cleverly sum up, in simple sketch, each mood evoked and brings a smile.

I received Fish Pie and Laughter as a Birthday Gift and read it in one go. Now I am taking my time to slowly enjoy it chapter by chapter. A wonderful book by five wonderful writers – you never know where the next chapter will take you in time or place or mood.

Congratulations on the publication of Fish Pie and Laugher: a gentle yet intriguing jog through the life experience of some very talented, determined and special ladies. Looking forward to your second book: all power to your elbows!

I should have written before this to congratulate you on your publication. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Fish Pie and Laugher and am full of admiration for your enterprise. The way you have arranged it is very clever as is the title. The variety within the book certainly adds to its interest. I hope Fish Pie and Laughter has sold well. Let me know when your next publication comes out!

I'd like to congratulate you all once more on the success of your latest book. I came to the launch where I enjoyed meeting with those of you there again, and having finished the book - I found it even more enjoyable than the first one. Easy bedtime stories. Well done - you're a great bunch and good fun - keep it up! Thanks again and I look forward to your next one!!
