For if it is truly the spice of life then these two volumes, Will Work For Food and No, It's Not Him, are a veritable vindaloo in a goldmine of treasured treats.' 'The stories ' sought the thief. 'They will release me ' 'They're the key to letting your imagination go. For it is from there that we will all be set free.'. …
