Wonderful collection of stories

I love almost all the writers in this collection but had not heard any of the stories. It’s a lovely collection filled with gentle humour, a real sense of humanity. and a surprising amount of optimism. Surprisingly enjoyable. At first the reading voice grated but I quickly got used to it and found it easy and clear.
