Rendition Concering Books The Bat (The Red Grouse Tales) - A coming of age story involving a search after truth, doubt and a bat! (The Red Grouse Tales)
What is true? What is truth? An adult, speculative, spiritual and philosophical coming of age story. An old and now sceptical Thomas looks back on the events of his last term at school when his class returned to a new beautiful class teacher, a donation of stuffed animals and birds by an eccentric benefactor and the increasingly strange events which followed. Zoological specimens appeared to be not quite as dead as they looked. A bell-jar which had contained a stuffed bat shattered during an exorcism, after which what had been strange events turned to being sinister and frightening. As a then naive young Thomas searched for the truth, he found himself, questioning ‘good and evil’, realising that his task is not as simple and straightforward as he would have wished and in so doing loosing his innocence and having to accept that belief may have as much to do with truth as do facts. A tale for those who like to think on what they are reading. (Warning to sensitive readers; the story is an adult one and so does contain references to sex)

I was born in 1949, qualified as a Chartered Civil Engineer and worked for several years on projects in the UK, the Far East and Africa. During this period I won the Institution of Civil Engineers Miller Prize for a paper on tunnelling. Changing times resulted in a change in direction and after qualifying as an Associate Member of both the British Institute of Professional Photography and theDNF at 60%I couldn't finish this, I just couldn't, even though it wasn't very long. "The bat" was alright at first; there were stuffed animals in a school which disappeared or changed even though they were very much dead and characters who had potential and a mystery which was interesting enough to keep me going.

Is the truth simply what one believes it to be? Were four deaths in the village coincidence or evil? Leslie Garland takes a seemingly innocuous tale about creepy taxidermy animals in a new direction that has you questioning faith, God, and evil. The narrator of this story,Thomas, tells the tale of a peculiar bequest made to the school he attended as a child. The preserved animals created a tangible effect in his class causing him to examine faith and leading him to the end of his innocence. As
A strange donation of stuffed animals to a school that leads to terrifying events , leaving you questioning everything even your own conclusions !! Even though i couldn't bond with any of the characters and to be honest none were my favorite still this story in my opinion had Gothic elements such as Exorcism- the bat which itself is very significant which represents the title and usually when it's included in a story u know things might go wrong in some way !!! This was a great story by Leslie
With 'fake news' hitting the headlines and misguided religiously motivated terrorism still in them, I thought it would be nice to look at 'truth' and muse on questions such as 'what actually is true?' and 'what is Truth?' using a fantasy story as a foil for same.Is truth what we believe to be the case, or is it what we know to be the case? Why is one religion deemed to be true, whereas others are deemed not to be so? And why are religions deemed to be a 'good thing' when they appear to be the

To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
