Book excerpt: After having his spaceship wrecked by the dreaded finkumpoops, space pirate Captain Codswallop takes refuge on Earth and unwittingly brings three finkumpoops with him. The finkumpoops are small furry creatures called Fink, Um and Poop who as well as being technological geniuses are complete idiots. They have a habit of taking things apart and putting them back together again in such a way as to make them do things they were never meant to do. Because of the devastation they cause, planets known to be infested with finkumpoops are invariable blown to smithereens by a fleet of Gorbanian battlecruisers - a fate that awaits Earth unless something is done to rid it of finkumpoops. Robbie Callaghan is a schoolboy. The summer holiday has just begun and he is already bored. Forced to flee his house to escape the attention of a couple of doting spinsters, he stumbles upon Hobb's End, an old station that has been converted into a home-cum-workshop by a stage magician who goes by the name of Manfred the Magnificent. Mannie (as he is otherwise known) tells Robbie he has picked up a distress signal from somewhere out near Mars. Robbie, of course, doesn't believe him and tells him so. That night, however, Robbie sees a strange light in the sky that leaves him wondering.In the morning, he gets a phone call from Mannie who claims a spaceship has landed in the scrapyard at the back of the old station. Still sceptical, Robbie rushes to Hobb's End only to be told the spaceship is invisible. Annoyed at being made a fool of, Robbie throws a stone in the direction of the alleged space ship and is astounded when it seems to bounce off something invisible.They are attacked by Captain Codswallop but saved by the invisible forcefield surrounding the spaceship. When the finkumpoops show up, the space pirate runs screaming back into the ship. As Robbie and Mannie look on, the finkumpoops take a load of scrap from the scrapyard and turn it into an antigravity device which Manny gets his hands on. As soon as he turns on the gadget, he shoots up into the air.Robbie manages to communicate with the finkumpoops and persuades them to help him get Mannie safely back to earth. They turn a rusty old banger into a flying car and rescue Manny. During an encounter with Captain Codswallop, Toby - a friend of Robbie's - sees his trainers reduced to ashes by the space pirate's atomic ray gun. He is disheartened by his loss until the finkumpoops create for him the neatest-looking pair of shoes ever out of a pair of old diving boots. Overjoyed, he tries them on, jumps - and lands 40 years in the past.From Captain Codswallop (who they have captured and strapped into an electric chair) Robbie and his friends learn how dangerous the finkumpoops are. Unfortunately, by this time, the finkumpoops are on the loose and causing all sorts of mayhem in the town of Chibbleford. They end up in Boggleland, a defunct fairground, and bring the rides back to life, much to the delight of the local residents. As Robbie and his friends bicker about what they should do next, a middle-aged man shows up claiming to be Toby. Robbie is the first to realise he isn't lying and the others soon follow suit. COME ALONG ON THIS CRAZY ADVENTURE!!!

Book Synopsis Collected Stories by : Beryl Bainbridge
Download or read book Collected Stories written by Beryl Bainbridge and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complete short stories--including six previously uncollected works and one novella--of award-winning British literary giant Beryl Bainbridge. From one of the United Kingdom's most famed female novelists come nineteen different takes on the often cruel, usually comic, and utterly strange realities of human life and imagination. From the collection Mum and Mr Armitage is the eponymous tale in which two pranksters at a holiday resort play "harmless" jokes on the people and livestock that surround them--until they must pay the price for taking the fun too far. In "The Longstop," unspoken familial information collides with a game of cricket, and in "People for Lunch," two lovers are ironically compelled to ruminate on the dilemmas of adultery. And among the previously uncollected work compiled here are "The Man from Wavertree" and "Poles Apart." The former is a quick look into the eccentric world of Rose and her tenant, Purdy, who is trying to sell his motorbike. The latter tells the story of a popular woman in her late seventies who tells a lie in an attempt to get out of a Christmas party invitation, only to find out her fib has come true. Collected Stories concludes with "Filthy Lucre," a Victorian melodrama that author Beryl Bainbridge wrote when she was only thirteen. In this precocious tale, a dying man asks a friend to take revenge on the family he thinks has cheated him out of his inheritance. What follows is a surprisingly mature and thoroughly sensational tale of murder, deception, love, and treasure islands. Called a "consummate storyteller" by the Sunday Times, Bainbridge was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize five times in her career, and is perhaps best known for her psychological novels The Bottle Factory Outing and Injury Time. However, her short fiction, hailed by the Times as "impressive," is equally masterful.
