This was the first book I ever owned. I loved my copy literally to pieces! I’m planning to purchase another to share with my daughter, and all of you should too.

For the Orlando the Marmalade Cat story.

Note that Runaway Reptiles is a short story within The Gargling Gorilla. And Humblepuppy is from Not What You Expected: A Collection of Short Stories, and Jack Pot is from The Clothes Horse and Other Stories, and I don't know which Mr. Majeika book has the Ghost Hunter story. Many others will be excerpts, too, of course. It really should be called a 'sampler' imo.
