"fun anthology"
Fans of The Cat Who... mystery series have something to
celebrate. The protagonist of the novels, James Mackintosh
Quilleran, has finally finished his work SHORT AND TALL
TALES, a series of stories told to him by the residents of
Moose county. At the beginning of each tale, Quill
explains how each story came into his possession and who
gave it to him. Every reader will have a favorite or two but all the unique
anecdotes in this book make a delightful holiday gift
especially for series fans. Two of this reviewer's
favorites are the "Secret Of The Blacksmith's Wife"
(revealed to her grandson on her deathbed) and the "Tale Of
Two Tombstones" (related by the stonecutter told to his
grandson). There are twenty-seven stories in this collection and
anytime the reader feels blue, try this collection for a
pick-me-up. Harriet Klausner
