Tiger's Railway
A joy to read and saunter through - a series of episodes in the life of Tiger Malik, a superintendent of railways in an east European country. Tiger must make his trains run on time, even on a non-existent line, and continually fights his urge to steal trains left unattended in his area. It's part idyll - the romance of the trains, with a wonderful group of characters playing out lovingly detailed eccentricities. Great fun and a pleasure to read aloud.
