Mongollen and Other Stories

6 short stories, the lion's share relating to a three part saga of the country MONGOLLEN and the three problems it faces. Inspired by the history of the Welsh 'colony' in Patagonia, Mongollen is a small country founded by the O'Gollens of Irish extraction in the 1800's. Now well established, bordering China and south of Inner Mongolia, and for some years a Kingdom with an O'Gollen Royal family. This humorous story charts its history and the manner in which the three problems are resolved. CLOUD NINE is a pre vision of Heaven from Limbo a rare privilege. A DUTCH TALE is a light-hearted slant on the possible interpretations of Delft tiles surrounding a fireplace constructed in 1655. THE PRINCESS is a sad and very short story of a fairy Princess.
