If I Only Had...

Rate this book
August 2014 sees the 75th anniversary of the iconic MGM film adaptation of L. Frank Baum's classic novel The Wizard of Oz.

Inspired by the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion's quest to find Brains, Heart and Courage, Ian Sansom, Morwenna Banks and Colin Carberry bring us a series of three stories about people who find themselves in unexpected situations, which challenge them to display qualities they never realized they had all along, or which find them looking at their lives in a new light in their own personal quests for a brain, a heart, and the nerve.


If I Only Had a Brain

Novelist and broadcaster Ian Sansom takes us into the daily routine of a scientist who in his quest for new discoveries rarely tells the people he meets exactly what his job entails.


If I Only Had a Heart

Writer and performer Morwenna Banks takes us to a hospital bedside where a mother waits nervously for news that could save her son's life.


If I Only Had the Nerve

Colin Carberry (co-writer of Good Vibrations) introduces us to Brendon, a serial Recruitment Agency temp, who finally discovers the courage to make some important changes in his life.
