Book Review: Tiny Tales by Alexander McCall Smith

Tiny Tales

by Alexander McCall-Smith (Large Type McCall Smith)

 

Tiny Tales is like a dessert cart of incredible delicacies.

 

Each little story is worthy of savoring. My favorite group of stories is about “Pope Ron”, an average good guy who grows up to be Pope, and how he takes some time out from “Pope-ing” to enjoy life as a regular guy once again and how the people around him, who knew him from childhood, are both reverent of his status and familiar with him as folks who “knew-you-when” can be.

 

Dividing the groups of stories are little “Amuse-bouches”: Short illustrated cartoon stories which are light hearted and fun.

 

I think anyone who would like a break from real serious stories, and a moment of kindness and humor would enjoy these stories.
