Bringing together fiction from some of the city's most celebrated writers, The Book of Leeds traces the unique contours that fifty years of social and economic change can impress on a city. These are stories that take place at oblique angles to the larger events in the city's history, or against wider currents that have shaped the social and cultural landscape of today's Leeds: a modern city with both problems and promise.

Jenny Barker, like many young women, has a few problems. Her beloved horse has been stolen while the vicious Savager is on the loose cutting up animals in fields. She is neither doing well in college nor in love and fears she may die a virgin. Crazy Horse is a wacky ride.
