Aunt Truly’s Tales is a collection of short stories told by the mysterious Aunt Truly that we met in The Kiminee Dream.
Each story is unique and entertaining. I thought I would take my time and just read a little at a time. Nope, each one was so fun; I powered through the entire book in one sitting!
The author utilizes the cumulative or chain format in several stories. This style gives the tales a rhythmic flow which I quite enjoyed.
I believe my favorite tale might be The Mermaid’s Gift, although The Frog That Wouldn’t Budge, first told in The Kiminee Dream, is very special.
Some of the tales have obvious morals; others simply make you chuckle. The author, Laura McHale Holland, is a fantastic storyteller. Aunt Truly’s Tales is the second book I have read from her, and I can’t wait to read more.
I received a copy of this book for an iRead Book Tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
