Peter has released two audiobooks of short stories: Borrowing
the Boss’s Car & Other Stories, and The Trouble with Bears &
Other Stories.
The compilations feature stories from Peter’s vast repertoire.
Most are true — vignettes of his life experiences growing up in
England, sinking wells with formerly-Untouchable communities
in India, and biking around the world. Some are fictional, such as
an imagined conversation between squirrels in
his
backyard, or with the Devil over
whether he may be admitted to Hell.
Still others are opinions - many of
which are deliberately outrageous and
intended to provoke!
