A collection of fourteen short stories with very different subject matters, but a humorous humanity links them all. I particularly liked the title story, along with 'The Butterfly and The Tin of Paint' and 'Crumbs of Wisdom'. Lively can speak volumes in very few words. Perfect as a light summer read, and small enough to pop in a pocket. As three of the stories have a distinct seasonal theme (Christmas), perhaps a suitable stocking filler?
