Devil's
Eyes is Irene Armistead's first full length novel and shows that whether writing short stories or longer fiction she is
truly the master of her craft. This incredible story is set in South Africa over the period of the last death throes of Apartheid
and the birth of the first ANC government. It is not however, a political novel. It is a novel about people who the reader
will recognise as real people with all their fears and prejudices. Many of the characters are mean and vicious and the unlikely
but truly credible heroine faces unimaginable set-backs in her quest to find a decent happy future.

WAR
IN A PINT GLASS by Irene Armistead 978-0-9552404-8-5
£6.95
This delightful collection of short stories, many dating back to World War 2, will amuse you and fascinate
you. The Author’s incredible ability to create characters, with a few well-chosen words, will make you feel that you
have personally met the people in these tales. Irene, even as a small child, had the unusual facility,
in one so young, of observing and absorbing the human foibles and frailties that surrounded her in the country pub where she
grew up. It is her twin abilities to observe and describe that make her stories so delightful.

Last year, Irene Armistead published War in a Pint Glass, her first collection

has been to persuade Irene to bring forward the publication of this, her second offering, A Can of Worms.
Like its predecessor, this book will thrill, amuse and entertain you. The stories are short and beautifully crafted
in Irene’s unique racy style. A Can of Worms is required reading for the
traveller, for the busy person on a tight schedule and for the holiday-maker.
