My highest credit goes to Ms. Catherine Taylor, who is merely presented as the compiler. Just as how a story is told speaks a lot about the storyteller, how this book is compiled tells a lot about Ms. Taylor. Simply the most delightful book, which would be best as Christmas gift for all, from mature teens to advanced elderlies. For each story, Mr. Taylor retained its original language, which reflects the place, the time, and the culture. This adds precious depth to the feel of the story. Thus, the book covers a lot of places, times and people. Ms. Taylor, in choosing these stories, maintained high standard of excellence in writing. Readers are recommended, as they start reading this book, to make sure they are in a peaceful place and time, ready to relive their precious and happy memories. A book deserving five stars, but it begs to be placed on a less prominent part of a bookshelf, just like one should not be talkative about his/her fondest memories.
