In this entertaining collection of stories, Louis de Bernieres introduces us to a man who turns his life around through developing his hobby of collecting cat-food tin labels.

We also meet a traveller who embarks on a confusing love affair in Colombia, a dolphin romance and, in 'Gunter Weber's Confession', we return to the much-loved characters of Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

Louis de Bernieres is one of our most treasured writers and these stories show his imaginative range and unique storytelling power.
