This title contains four Maeve Binchy short stories, specially commissioned for BBC Radio 4. Maeve Binchy is one of Britain's most popular and bestselling authors, and this collection of four stories from the BBC Radio 4 archive shows her at her most insightful and imaginative.

In "The Garden Party", Helen envies her neighbour Debbie Kennedy's garden - and her life - but discovers that things are not always as they seem; while "The Special Sale" sees lonely Yvonne arranging a special lunch for her friend Frank and his children on the day after Christmas.

"The Sensible Celebration" finds Lorna about to throw a small party to celebrate the decade gone by: but as she plans, she starts to think about her life, and her marriage.

Finally, in "Dolly's Mother", the beauty, grace and efficiency of her perfect parent have always made Dolly feel inferior - until the day of her sixteenth birthday.
