Looking for a great read over the holidays? Well here are six wonderful short stories. Take a stroll through Victoria Square and meet the merchants and find out about their shops. Listen to their stories, the friends and what they will tell you.

This was fabulous!!! This collection of five stories about the merchants of Victoria Square was very well written, interesting and such an enjoyable read. The publishing was sub-par, for example, one chapter did not have page numbers, some cover illustrations were referenced, but not included, but that did not take away from the joy of reading this book. An added bonus is the recipes at the end. I hope this gifted author creates a volume two about life on Victoria Square.

This is a fantastic collection of short stories that center around different characters at Victoria Square. Even if you've never read the Victoria Square mysteries by this author (which I highly recommend) you will enjoy these stand-alone tales. Each one features a heartwarming dilemma or mystery and is appropriate for any and all readers. There are six short stories in here, and I love every one of them.
