A magnificent collection of thirty-five stories for readers with broad interests. There are provocative narratives with The Seminar, "I say, let us put America back to work with a rope factory in every town. Commit a crime beyond any doubt and we will respect your civil rights to hang you with a new rope around your neck." There is a history lesson and humor with Willy and the Peanuts, "Only President Carter knew that small things could lead to great things; and that is why he planted peanuts." There are touching moments with Coconut Head, and Freddy. There is tender love with Holding Hands, and teen love with Twin My Love. We also have adult romance with Snowbound and cultural discovery with Maa Mee Haa Khaa. Enjoy historical twist with the delightful Columbus Gourmet Evening, spiritual themes with An Angel in My Bus, Ants on My Legs, and The Sance. There is also alcoholism, drama, and some philosophical touches with other stories.
