I love this series and am saddened by the jaded review by the gentleman from Australia. Whether I recall a story or stories x days later is not the issue. Rather, to me, it is in the moment of the story in the present tense not in this judgmental attitude where I ascribe value. It took me away with it. Sure not all stories strum the fullest chord. No problem. I appreciate the assistance of helping me sift through the chaff.
