Críticas:

"Brings us inside the mind of a delightful child, living in a quirky world that we are eager to explore, populated by fascinating and eccentric characters, as told with a fresh, witty, and authentic voice. This is exactly the magic that we hope for in a collection of growing-up stories!"

--Doug Lipman, author of The Storytelling Coach

"Jennifer Munro introduces us to the endearing yet unabashed...characters of her working class English childhood, those folks who have helped make her the funny, salty, and wise storyteller she is. Before the book's end, we get to know her as the adult child of an aging parent, and the intentional mother who uses story to instill compassion in her Chicago kids. This is a delightful read!"--Andy Offutt Irwin, humorist, storyteller, and recording artist

Reseña del editor:

 

 Munro’s stories were born five decades ago in a small English village where children were seen and not heard, fathers were wacky, neighbors were snoopy, and maiden aunts were beautifully crafted artifices. Her original stories, dolloped with characters reminiscent of those from her childhood, telling of domestic shenanigans and outings gone revealingly awry are written with meticulous timing. Rich in details about the frailty and strength of the human spirit, her stories resonate with the truth of what is means to be human.
