The author uses surgical precision in choosing each word for an enormous impact while, at the same time, polishes alabaster to preserve the beautiful oral tradition of the spoken word. It is a joy to read, read aloud, and hear; a masterful English telling of traditional stories.

I will forgo any of the details of the stories since I loved walking down the dark street of discovery of each turn of the page!
