This book is a bicultural, whimsical collage. Each of the stories included is significantly different, and each was written to have an impact, to leave the reader thinking. Featured in the smorgasbord are tales of humour, spirituality, science fiction, sociology, psychic phenomena, crime, cats and mice who talk to one another, and a charming little girl who also understands them.
