‘Some things never change in human dramas’ and for Alison Mode, the dwarf heroine of Sarah Guppy’s A Dwarf’s Tale, this truism will haunt her until past wrongs are put right.
Part socio-political commentary on the state of contemporary Britain and part magical fantasy, A Dwarf’s Tale follows Alison as she battles prejudice drawn by her stature and determines to win. It all starts with the purchase of a guinea pig, Spock, and the ominous presence of her vile and bullying landlord, Sinclair.
From that point on, together with a fantastic array of characters, Alison Mode – carer, agitator, modern white witch and philosopher extraordinaire – discovers talents she never knew she possessed, and items of furniture which seem to have lives of their own, as voices from the past draw her deeper and deeper into a world of evil.
