Tallis Steelyard. Deep waters, and other stories. Kindle Edition

by Jim Webster (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
See all formats and editions
More of the wit, wisdom and jumbled musings of Tallis Steelyard. Discover the damage done by the Bucolic poets, wonder at the commode of Falan Birling, and read the tales better not told. We have squid wrestling, lady writers, and occasions when it probably wasn't Tallis's fault. He even asks the great question, who are the innocent anyway?

Someone once wrote this about me

"Jim Webster is probably still fifty something, his tastes in music are eclectic, and his dress sense is rarely discussed in polite society. In spite of this he has a wife and three daughters.

He has managed to make a living from a mixture of agriculture, consultancy, and freelance writing. Previously he has restricted himself to writing about agricultural and rural issues but including enough Ancient Military history to maintain his own sanity. But seemingly he has felt it necessary to branch out into writing fantasy and Sci-Fi novels."

Now with eight much acclaimed fantasy works and two Sci-Fi to my credit it seems I might be getting into the swing of things.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glimpses of Lives Being Lived

Tallis Steelyard journeys are set in an epic fantasy world not quite like our own yet the people there have a familiarity that is almost like looking at modern society through a time machine.

This particular story shares glimpses into the lives of many people including an artist's assistant and a squid-wrestling romantic.

I really enjoyed reading about all the people who cross Tallis Steelyard's path. The much-beloved poet has a way of helping others that makes me wish there were more people just like him on our world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Port Naain is like a second home to me.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2019

Yet another entertaining stroll through Port Naain, courtesy of Poet (and oft solver of life’s little problems), Tallis Steelyard.
We meet and learn about more characters who live there, some familiar, some new, some successful, some who hurriedly pass through.
Mutt makes one or two guest appearances to further demonstrate his enviable skills at obtaining funds with some well chosen words.
If squid wrestling is your favourite sport, or, learning about yet another ‘person of privilege’ who has been meted due justice, then this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy and entertaining

A very enjoyable book of short stories. The stories are of the amusing kind, and while most of them will stand on their own, they work very well as a collection. The city of Port Naain and it's inhabitants come alive throughout the course of the book.
