In Margate by Lunchtime is Maggie Harris’s second collection of short stories; a follow-up to Canterbury Tales on a Cockcrow Morning. Not only did she write the stories, but her drawings feature on the book’s cover – parakeets, which now live wild in the seaside towns of Thanet, and a mermaid on  a Vespa against the background of Margate sands.

Here is what John Lavin has to say about the stories:

A complex love letter to the Kent coastline that Harris moved to when she was a teenager, In Margate By Lunchtime is an accomplished examination of displacement and discovery. Written in a vibrant prose style that – especially in its use of colour and poetic rhythm – also recalls the landscape of the author’s native Guyana, these stories linger in the mind, posing difficult questions and providing unexpected answers.
