Penguin Man Down Goodhand James

365 is James Robertson's innovative collection of 365 stories, each 365 words long • In 2013, James Robertson wrote a story every day. Each was exactly 365 words long. A year later, on a daily basis, the stories were published on the Five Dials website. Now the 365 stories are gathered together in one volume. Some draw on elements of ancient myth and legend, others are outtakes from Scottish history and folklore; there are squibs and satires, songs and ballads in disguise, fairytales, stories inspired by dreams or in the form of interviews, and personal memories and observations • Underpinning all of them are vital questions: Who are we? What are we doing here? What happens next?
