This is made up of three short stories or novellas that are cute, but quite simple, a lengthy summation of Frazer's research on the priory these tales are set in and a lengthy, 10-chapter preview of the first novel in the Dame Frevisse series which is quite engaging, cosy and fun. My only complaint that with the preview being so lengthy, I'm a bit reluctant to buy a novel that I've read a significant chunk of already.

More than 50% of this ebook is taken up with a preview of the first novel in the series, leaving the collection of three short stories at around half the length of a novel.
Having said that, the stories themselves are pretty good - Frazer works well within the shortened format, not attempting anything to convoluted with the plotting, and allowing the scenery and characters to breathe as a consequence.
