«Quirky Tails» is Paul Jennings's collection of short stories, published by Puffin Books in paperback (112 pages, in English).
A collection of zany humour and gentle horror. The stories start from everyday situations that soon go awry: ordinary characters encounter absurd events, inexplicable phenomena and tricky endings. The tone combines laughter with a disquieting edge, and each tale closes with an unexpected twist.
The volume brings together nine stories; the original work was published in 1987 and this Puffin edition in May 1992.
Recommended for child and young adult readers, especially from around 7 years old, who enjoy stories of humour, mystery and surprising endings.
