From the author of the best-selling “No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” series comes a collection of short tales that will charm listeners with their wit, absurdity, and delight. From a pope wanting to visit his native country of Australia, to a woman looking to meet people skydiving, to four dentists going on vacation together (with disastrous results), the breadth and scope of these stories will amuse and engage listeners. Thirty tiny tales are broken into sections on love, revenge, kindness, strangeness, and other manners of emotion. These brief stories are brought to life in inventive and amusing ways by a trio of narrators. Brian Nishii, Jamie Jackson, and Robert Ian Mackenzie each voice cleverness, banter, and hilarity with every breath.
VERDICT This unique collection is proof that good things come in small packages.
