reviewed on + 134 more book reviews


Good news for fans of the bestselling Cat Who mysteries: Fictional columnist James Qwilleran has finally completed his book showcasing the stories related to him by residents of Moose County, that famous region four hundred miles north of everywhere. As devoted readers of the series know, Qwill has been working on this book since The Cat Who Tailed a Thief. Now he has compiled all the stories in Short & Tall Tales.

Lilian Jackson Braun introduces readers to James Mackintosh Qwilleran and recounts how he collected the stories. Qwill provides a preface for each, describing the teller and the circumstances. And the tales themselves entertain, and reveal the offbeat "history" of Moose County. Here is a treat for old and new fans alike.
