London Tales is a new collection of short stories from Tim Walker that echo London’s past, reflect the present and imagine its future.

Starting with a dramatic account of Queen Boudica’s rebel army attack on Londinium (Roman London) in 60 CE, it ends with a dystopian tale set during the final evacuation as rising sea levels claim the city.

In between, there are stories set during the Peasant’s Revolt in 1381, the Great Fire of London in 1666, the last ice fair in 1814, Jack the Rippers murders of 1888, the Blitz of 1941, then the World Cup summer of 1961, the 70s, 80s and the London terror attacks of 2007. It’s a work of fiction, drawing on key moments in London’s fascinating 2,000 year history.

I was thrilled when someone mentioned the Windsor Talking Newspaper charity in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. Their volunteers provide a valuable information service for blind people in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead council area. They distribute a USB memory stick each week to their subscribers with local and national news stories read and recorded by volunteers – what a great idea.

I met with the organisers and they thought it was a good idea to serialise my short stories in Thames Valley Tales, voiced by actor Richard James, onto each weekly issue for an eight week run.

This will start after Easter, and I’m looking forward to the feedback from their 1,000-odd subscribers across the RBWM Council area.

It is hoped that stories located locally that reflect contemporary issues and evoke some of the rich history and legends associated with the river Thames will surely resonate with the audience.

The Merry Women of Windsor is a comic update of Shakespeare’s classic play; Runnymede Rebellion is a human drama that examines the meaning and relevance of the personal freedoms enshrined in Magna Carta; and Maidenhead Thicket sees the ghost of highwayman Dick Turpin surprise a Council surveyor.

Other stories in the collection of nine are set in Oxford, Henley-on-Thames, Newbridge, Goring-on-Thames and the Uffington White Horse.

Audiobook fans can find Thames Valley Tales on Amazon Audible and Apple iTunes store. It’s also available from Amazon in paperback, Kindle and Kindle Unlimited via this link:
