5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book from Mick Jackson, 15 Jul 2005
By David Williams "sadman" (Rugby United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book will appeal to parents looking for a good book of tales to read to their children, to children looking to read independently and there is plenty to entertain adults alone.

The ten tales highlight the quirky side of life, with excellent illustrations to accompany the tales, including an illustration of the author himself.

For me Ten Sorry Tales took A Roald Dahl type tale (twits, matilda) and developed it further.

A great read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ooooooo, 21 Aug 2005
By A Customer
I bought this book on a review in one of the Sunday papers although when I received it, I wasn't sure whether it was intended for adults or children. Perhaps that doesn't matter as I think both will enjoy it. It is nicely presented and the illustrations suit the stories very well. The stories are a mixture of dark and disturbing through to rather comical and I wanted to cheer out loud after reading 'The lepidoctor'. All in all, a very entertaining (if short) read and I shall certainly be investigating Mick Jackson's other books having read this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maccabre, Mental and Marvellous!, 15 April 2007
By Mellymoo (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ten Sorry Tales (Paperback)
I grabbed this from a book shop just before I was about to catch the train for some light reading that would stop me going mad on the journey. I had no idea I'd picked up such a good book. Im not totally sure whether this book is intended for children or adults but I thought it was enchanting. The stories go from the light hearted 'The Alien', with mass child rebellion and the 'Lepidoctor' about a young boys attempt to save thousands of lives with a antique. To the darker stories such as 'Hermit Wanted' which actually has you quickly looking over your shoulder as you read it. It's brilliant little collection from Mick Jackson which in sometimes put you in mind of Roald Dahl. Really worth a look. It's a wee bit short but Sorry Tales is a gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ten excellent tales
Ten excellent short stories, all a little odd and some a little macabre but every one a little gem.
