Maureen Reynolds was born and brought up in Dundee and her new collection of stories from the city is a nostalgic and affectionate look back at the city as it once was. These true tales are from the years before, during and after the Second World War and include a look at many aspects of now-forgotten life in Dundee. There are tales from the playground, of well-known local characters, of 'spookie nichts' and 'piggyback planes', ghost stories, tales of market days and tattie gatherers, all told with a genuine warmth that will appeal to Dundonians everywhere and anyone who enjoys a good old-fashioned tale.

Having read "Voices in the Street" I was so eager to "Teatime Tales from Dundee". However, it just doesn't quite recapture the wonder and spirit of the previous book.
The book consists of short little stories based around the history of Dundee. Some remain personal to the author whilst others are more factual accounts of events from Dundee's past. Don't expect to get "involved" with this book in the way you can with "Voices in the Street". But if you like reading short, snappy stories in a few minutes then this book might suit you.
