As Birmingham’s contribution to 2008 as England's national Year of Reading a number of new poems and very short fictional ‘tales’ were written especially to help promote reading to new readers. These were donated to be freely distributed as widely as possible to people in Birmingham and beyond. These writings were produced essentially for an adult audience, but have general appeal within that.
The Tales: Background
These are (fictional) stories told to an imaginary researcher. They capture fragments of the lives of each narrator. The 'tales' are being brought together as an imagined account of social research. In the meantime, a selection is offered here to support Birmingham's activities to promote wider reading in the city and beyond.
