-The city over the water-
Stories from south London
The City Over The Water
It’s London but not as you know it. Welcome to the south, the Surrey Shore, the Sunny Side. Get on a bus, go Transpontine and immerse yourself in some of the stories of the city over the water.
South London is Britain’s second largest city full of wonderful parks and crossed by exciting bus routes. The bus stories are set on, linked by or alongside some of these bus journeys. The collection of park stories set in or around south London's open spaces, parks and commons.
​​
Inside the bus book you’ll find angels, cyborgs, pirates and terrorists. There are shapeshifters, London folk demons and vengeful goddesses but also stories of love, friendship, growing up and revenge. The parks contain undead joggers, a toilet goddess, erotic lay lines, ghosts of music hall performers as well as the story of Peckham Rye's gay cultural renaissance.
​
The two collections of short stories are written by Chris Roberts with art work by Tim Bird. ​The whole world is here in the City Over The Water, take a ride or a stroll in it.
​
