Nice set of stories

[Sybil Somerset · Rating 5 out of 5]

A treasury of charming stories.
No other author would write or adapt the stories featured today. When I bought this book from the charity shop, I knew it would strike me in the heart.
Would highly recommend for five minutes before an important job.
