Erika (17789 KP) rated Tales from a Galaxy Far, Far Away, Vol 1: Aliens in Books
Apr 21, 2018
This collection of short stories was alright. By far, my favorite was 'The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku'. While this is written for a younger audience, I didn't think it was a bad thing. 'High Noon on Jakku' was fairly good too, and I like reading more stories about Jakku.

Further collection of Richmal Crompton's William stories, where the titular character gets himself into more scrapes and misadventures. I have to say, as well, that the language in them is actually quite advanced: while the stories may all be about a kid, I don't really think they are written *for* kids (if that makes sense>)

Where to next?
To play it safe, I borrowed this book from the library - who knows what to expect from an actor who has decided that he wants to write? To say that I'm surprised by this collection of short stories would be an understatement. They have an old fashioned feel to them: the use of language reminds me of movies set in the 20s - 30s. Perhaps it's because he typed them all up on one of his old-fashioned typewriters? Some interesting stories: a bit of time travel, a couple of immigrant stories and much more (it's a big book!). The newspaper-column type stories didn't do it for me, I'm afraid, and I skipped them.
I'm interested to see where he goes with this next!!
