Jack Thiessen is an educated tale spinner. This
book contains an entire legacy of Mennonite
Short Stories, from bragging to preaching,
from laughing out loud to consolation and love
and, also, the saddest of tears. One does well in
reading a story a day, for a week or a month, for
that matter, and enjoying the humour and the
wisdom of a community coming alive as never
before.
