nothing delightful about this book. the ‘humor’ that was promised wasn’t there, the vile old woman i can’t even stand. the story was boring, and written in the most bland way possible 

the only reason why i finished this book is because it’s around 100 pages long

A short collection of stories about a little old lady who is a lot more cunning than she seems. Cute and quick, but nothing special.
