Reviews

[Eric · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nice book of pipe-centric fables and folklore, along with historical information. My only criticism comes in the form of organization; at times, it was difficult to determine where McHardy’s exposition ended and the tale began.

Delightful tales for read aloud.
