Harriet Hoevet Bennett's Auntie's Favorite Short Stories offers a diverse and colorful compilation of short stories, ranging from two young boys' startling discovery of the inevitable workings of the food chain to one family's annual home-style feast, where age-old secrets are unearthed and family traditions rejoiced.
"Before 911" details one little girl's near death experience, as she finds herself face to face with an angry cow. Seriously injured but determined to walk again and relieve her parents of a lifelong burden, she struggles to recover, finding support from friends, family, and the spiritual strength she pulls from within.
"Betty Whooo" tells the tale of a Barn Owl who must endure the persistent nagging of a little girl determined to cast her from the Bell Tower she calls home. It is only through the art of patience and a progressive mutual respect for one another that the two learn to accept their differences.
Even when Bennett's tales reach beyond the stars, as in "To the Big Dipper," life as we know it on Earth still applies. In this futuristic tale, two young space travelers casually voyage to the constellation of their choice only to find a freeloading mouse is helping itself to their food supplies.
Bennett's Auntie's Favorite Short Stories is a collection with which all readers can identify. Her poignant observations, down-to-earth story lines, and diverse subject matter make this compilation a must read for anyone who still enjoys the simple things in life.
