‘A dime a dozen’ as known in America, is perhaps equal to the English ‘cheap as chips’ but whatever the lingua franca of your choice in this series we hereby submit ‘A Rhyme a Dozen’ as 12 poems on many given subjects that are a well-rounded gathering, maybe even an essential guide, from the knowing pens of classic poets and their beautifully spoken verse to the comfort of your ears.

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. They can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. This decade is resplendent with literature and its many prodigiously talented authors who write on as varied a range of subjects as might be thought possible. Yet each is studded with careful literary precision and narrative verve. It is a remarkable decade.

In this modern world there is an insatiable need to categorise and pigeon-hole everyone and everything.

The zenith of Empire is bookended by two catastrophic wars that slaughter vast swathes of humanity. And yet authors manage to record and create fragile libraries of humanity, its talents, its dreams and increasingly its nightmares.

Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country.

There is something about the number 3. The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

Nach Novastoschna kam nie jemand, außer er hatte etwas zu tun; und eigentlich nur die Robben hatten regelmäßig dort etwas zu schaffen. Wenn der Schnee im Sommer geschmolzen ist, dann kamen sie zu Hunderttausenden aus der kalten, grauen See herbei geschwommen, denn die Novastoschnabucht war für Robben der schönste Platz auf der ganzen Welt.

Ein Mungo war Rikki – nach Pelz und buschiger Rute glich er fast einer Katze, doch Kopf und Art waren die eines Wiesels. Seine Augen und die immer bewegliche Nase schimmerten rosig; leicht konnte er sich am ganzen Körper kratzen und putzen und dabei ganz nach Belieben einen seiner Läufe benutzen. Seine Rute konnte er aufplustern, dass sie wie eine Flaschenbürste aussah; und wenn er durch das hohe Gras schnürte, ließ er seinen pfeifenden Schlachtruf ertönen: Rikki-Tikki-Tikki-Tschick!
