Piper is a gentle dog, courageous & anxious to please. It's very unfortunate that he is bought by a grim man who tells him to 'take care of the rabbits'. Piper babysits them beautifully, which is not what his new owner meant at all, & loses him his dinner. He runs away to the big city, & saves an old lady from being run over, but he hurts his leg doing it, & the old lady is still taken to hospital. It takes persistent passers-by to find him, & take him to the vet, & all is well in the end. ...

The long title story is about a man whose life, in a sense, is a book. There are shelves in every room, packed with titles which Ambrose Ribbon has checked pedantically for mistakes of grammar & fact. Life for Ribbon, without his mother now, is lonely & obsessive. He still keeps her dressing table exactly as she had left it, the wardrobe door always so that her clothes can be seen inside, & her pink silk nightdress on the bed. There is one book too that he associates particularly with her
- volume VIII of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Piranha to Scurfy. It marked a very significant moment in their relationship. In the other stories, Ruth Rendell deals with a variety of themes, some macabre, some vengeful, some mysterious, all precisely observed. The second novella, High Mysterious Union, explores a strange, erotic universe in a dream-like corner of rural Engl&, & illustrates very atmospherically what range Ruth Rendell has as a writer.

Pip

Pip McCabe, 30, likes to say she doesn't need a man and she doesn't need money. However, her friends and her sisters Cat and Fen (the heroines of North's previous two bestsellers) think she would probably benefit from a little more of each. This might prove difficult. Stripy tights, starched pigtails, a bright red nose and an ability to juggle whilst doing the splits only just about pay the bills and seldom lead to romance or romps. Pip, though, takes her clowning very seriously, whether at spoilt kids' partiesor on the wards of children's hospitals. She simply doesn't have time for a man, she claims. And her bank balance hovers just above the red, so that's OK.

At 34, Zac Holmes has a successful, high-powered career, a fabulous flat and an adored 6-year-old son from a
previous relationship. Popular, charming and affluent, Zac feels that no-strings flings suit his lifestyle as much as the pleasing bonuses he earns at work.

When Zac and Pip first meet, it is far from love or lust at first sight. What can a clown and an accountant possibly have in common? Against a lively backdrop of parties and parks, hospitals and hotels, they attempt to find out...
