Would you please consider putting a collection together in book form?""-Lois F. in Nevada  As its loyal fans will gladly tell you, Pickles has been a zinger-filled, laugh-out-loud gem since its debut in 1990.

'Will we once again find the light, now darkness has fallen' The 'Seal' is a story set just weeks before the outbreak of WW2 but which has its roots in the historical Holy Crusades of some nine hundred years before. It is a story of one man's chance encounters in a series of incidents that would not only have a profound effect on him personally but which could have led to serious consequences at a time when the security of this country was at its most vulnerable. However, within the story is also a journey, albeit over a short period of time of one man in search of his own conscience through the events in his life and their affect on the circumstances that he was to find himself in, a journey that was to have far reaching repercussions for him beyond the limits of this story.

Deja Vu........................focuses on someone in the entertainment business who is confronted by the ghosts of his past.Digging The Dirt...........sees one woman facing those who choose to be the self appointed moral vigilantes in the community. A Moment Of Grace....a fiftieth wedding anniversary that has sad undertones.Just A Passing Fancy....is a man''s self analysis of his own conscience when temptation is laid before him.House Of Penitents.....through an extraordinary experience, this is one man''s question of what lies beyond?

Set in 1938 and very much in the spirit of John Buchan and Arthur Conan Doyle, Betrayal of the Trinity Knot is a story that not only gives a unique insight into the threats of conspiracy and subterfuge by foreign agents in the final year before the outbreak of the Second World War, it is also a story of the naivety and blindness of a nation not willing to accept that the unthinkable could happen again. And intertwined within this trail of intrigue is the inner scrutiny by the unlikely heroof his doubts and uncertainties about the determined path he had been drawn into following.So what began as a relaxing break from his business in Bristol, England, merely to visit his friend, the local vicar of a peaceful parish on Exmoor, ended up for our hero being warned. In no uncertain terms that his story must never be told, that it is not in the national interest.Irrevocably linked within these events is the betrayal of the sacred meaning behind a mysterious, ancient Celtic symbol.But now, after more than seventy years, the previously undisclosed truth about this small piece of hidden history has been unearthed in a manuscript concealed away in an old wooden chest. Even so, it is more than certain that the official records will still be gathering dust in some secret government vault.

A selection of more than 150 of the best daily strips from Brian Crane's hugely popular cartoon Pickles.
