The Smallest of Sparks is a collection of very short stories and poems. They invite you to another place, another time, every page a chance to explore someone else's bubble for a brief moment.'Come in, ' they say, 'look around. Watch from your place of safety, if you must. Just don't stay too long.'Each story began life as a single tweet, created from a word or image prompt. The constraints of Twitter see to it that such microfictions are concentrated down to their very essence, (no room for sprawling epics when you have a mere 280 characters to play with).So whether you're in the market for a quick dip or a deep dive, read this book in whatever way suits your mood.Just know: a story may be only a handful of sentences, but worlds can be built and destroyed in less.

This is the sequel to The Balloon Hunter. If you haven't read that yet, do so first. If you have read it, try not to make the same mistake over and over... ...like I keep doing.

This book explores the cultural formation of the anti-fascist Popular Front strategy in Britain and proposes a new framework for reading British fiction of this period.
