Eleven lively and finely spun stories by a writer with a warm and involving style. The recounting of the events of a long-past holiday with an eccentric great grannie has variety and wit. Sixes to nines will be captivated by the cleverly woven domestic details and by the economical way in which the storyteller draws her characters. Well worth a try for storytelling sessions.
