Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I am a fan of Alexander McCall Smith's THE NO. 1 LADIES' DETECTIVE AGENCY series, 44 Scotland Street series and the Isabel Dalhousie series. I tried reading a few of the novels in his PORTUGUESE IRREGULAR VERBS series but decided not to continue as I simply did not enjoy them. Too silly and slapstick for me though I know that does work for some readers. Tiny Tales contains stories about a little bit of everything. I particularly liked the one about the writer and publisher in the elevator, one about the dentists on vacation, and enjoyed Little Priggish and his opera singer. The others were readable; I felt they were better than the selections of Smith's Portuguese Irregular Verbs series I had read but not by much. The graphic strips by Ian McIntosh were okay. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"From the beloved author of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series comes a delightful compendium of very short fiction and comics that celebrate the joy and absurdity of the human experience. It is often said that the best things in life come in small packages--anyone in search of proof need look no further than the stories in this collection: brief, utterly engaging tales that offer lasting surprise and delight. From the original Greek financial crisis, when the profligate Gods of Olympus were punished by Odin and the other Norse Gods for their unchecked spending, to a handy unintended benefit of cosmetic surgery; from Pope Ron, the first Australian Pope, who wants nothing more than to live quietly, to a rather droll cat named Stanley, to Good President Wenceslas, benevolent leader of a snowy land: these stories are by turns funny, poignant, and deliciously wicked, each one a gift begging to be unwrapped and enjoyed again and again"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
