Published: 1st October 2024

Simon Fox is a small-town reporter with big ideas. He loves his job on an old-fashioned weekly newspaper at the heart of its community in the dying days of hot metal and smoky newsrooms, with stories bashed out on typewriters before the age of the net. 

Beginning in the scorching summer of 1976, Manfishing is a saga of love, tragedy and intrigue set in the Midlands town of Brexham. Fox grapples with the role of makeshift dad while portraying some of the town’s colourful characters… A disabled pensioner is being driven from his home to make way for a new road. A maverick councillor takes revenge on the comrades who betrayed him. And an Auschwitz survivor pleads for help to save her sick granddaughter.

But the journalist knows nothing of the sinister alliance between a bent cop and a violent skinhead – or of the role played by a pack of mince. A takeover leaves him fearing for the future of his beloved ‘local rag’.

Then a joyful new chapter in his life begins.

About the Author: Pete Pheasant worked for 47 years in regional journalism, finishing as night editor of the Nottingham Post. He was twice runner-up in the UK Press Gazette Regional Columnist of the Year Awards.

Nice suprise!
Color: Black, Size: Queen
I needed black sheets for a project and these were a very affordable option. I’m shocked how nice these sheets are. After I finished using them for my project and used them for my bed. Very soft and cool to the touch. They washed well and came out of the dryer wrinkle free. The fitted sheet fit my 14” inch mattress perfectly. I think it would even fit if I had a mattress topper as well. The pillow cases were easy to get on my Queen pillows which was nice as I didn’t have to put up a battle! I recommend these sheets.

Really great sheet set.
Color: White, Size: Queen
This is the best sheet set we've had in a while. I bought it last year for $15, it's still the same price, and almost a year later it's still intact. It washes and dries well and has a smooth, soft feel. The fitted sheet also stays in place fairly well. They're not cotton but they are still great sheets. I hope they get more colors, like light/soft yellow and lilac/lavender.
