About this product

Product Information

As the devoted readers of the series know, Qwill has been working on this book since The Cat Who Tailed a Thief. Now the tales are finally all compiled-legends such as "The Secret of the Blacksmith's Wife" and "The Trevelyan Curse." In Short and Tall Tales, Lilian Jackson Braun introduces James Mackintosh Qwilleran and tells how he collected the tales. Qwill provides a preface for each legend, identifying the teller and the circumstances. And it is no surprise that the tales themselves are entertaining stories that reveal the off-beat "history" of Moose County. Cat Who . . .fans will delight in reading these stories and anecdotes taken from the pages of the books they have come to love.

    A NICE ADDITION IF YOU'RE A CAT WHO COLLECTOR

    THIS IS A NICE BOOK FOR THOSE THAT ARE "THE CAT WHO..." FANS. IT WAS ONLY IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS THAT I BECAME ACQUAINTED WITH THIS SERIES OF ENJOYABLE BOOKS. I'M SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND THEM. IF YOU ARE AN AVID COLLECTOR AND READER OF LILIAN JACKSON BRAUN, AND HAVE READ ALL OF HER BOOKS TO THIS POINT, YOU HAVE IN FACT READ THE SHORT AND TALL TALES BOOK. THEY ARE STORIES THAT ARE COLLECTED AND SHARED BY HER BELOVED NEWSPAPERMAN, JAMES QWILLERAN. THESE TALES ARE GIVEN ONE AT A TIME, OVER SEVERAL CAT WHO BOOKS. I ENJOYED HAVING THEM COMPILED INTO ONE VOLUME BECAUSE I TEND TO FORGET WHEN THEY ARE SPREAD THROUGHOUT MANY NOVELS. THE STORIES COVER INTERESTING TALES ABOUT MOOSE COUNTY'S PAST. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ "THE CAT WHO" SERIES THESE STORIES WILL SET THE STAGE AND MAKE YOU WANT TO. I RECOMMEND ...

    The Cat Who... Short & Tall Tales

    LOVED IT!!! Whimsical Stories from the Lillian Jackson Braun series of mystery books. Tales from Moose County 400 miles North of Everywhere. A collection of tall tales handed down through many generations of pioneers that settled the Northeastern United States. Written by James Quilleran, the famous newspaperman in the fictional The Cat Who series of books.
