Ox-Tales is a set of four compelling and collectible books, each themed on one of the elements. Earth features stories by Rose Tremain, Jonathan Coe, Marti Leimbach, Kate Atkinson, Ian Rankin, Marina Lewycka, Hanif Kureishi, Jonathan Buckley and Nicholas Shakespeare, and a poem by Vikram Seth.
The idea behind Ox-Tales is to raise money for Oxfam and along the way to highlight the charity’s work in project areas: agriculture in Earth, water projects in Water, conflict aid in Fire, and climate change in Air.

To be fair, I'm not really a fan of short stories & these are a good example of why....most of the time I didn't know what the hell was going on!

As my TBR pile is massive it may take me a while to get to this.

Like Plum-crazy some of these stories left me feeling puzzled as to what they were about. I did enjoy a few, Boys in Cars and The Importance of Warm Feet were good.
Going into the"Already Crossed" Book Box.
