Handfuls of Air: stories and Poems

These utterly fanciful stories make us smile. In so doing, they affirm the resilient magic of the human condition. This new edition of Jim Gold’s shorter work includes rare tales of magic and daring-do—chronicles of a clever entrepreneur launching a Holy Land tour business during the Crusades, stories of talking vegetables and stories of half-mad dreamers, stories of love and of devotion in a world where Up is often Sideways. If you like reading P.G. Wodehouse and S.J. Perelman, you’ll love this book. A tonic for the flagging spirit and a reminder of the joy of living, it will make you an appreciator of wild imagination and leave you feeling younger than it found you.
