Created to raise funds for two charities in the village of Sarratt in Hertfordshire. Sarratt became well known through the Spy Novels of John le Carre as the fictional location of 'The Nursery' Spy School. The first and by far the most interesting story in this book is by le Carre himself. For the rest Mikhail Lyubimov has contributed 'The Adventures of Colonel Karla In Sarratt',which is also of interest. The rest is rather a mixed bag which vary from the fair to the poor. Not a bad collection overall and well worth reading. ( )
