Aside from being crowded, hot, sometimes smelly and always rather expensive, the famed and much maligned London commute isn’t really, despite most protestations, that bad. Tales of Goodwill is the first instalment of a series of content set in a character universe offering a snapshot into the lives of ordinary people. A debut novella, it doubles down on the normal, nice stuff people in London do for each other when they’re travelling every day, and where it takes them. Expect near-death experiences, actual death, birth, a curious little penny and red trousers.
