Short & tall tales
Throughout the "Cat Who" series of mystery novels, the protagonist, Jim Qwilleran, collects short, odd tales from the local folks in and around the town of Pickax. They are often very short (2-3 pages) and mostly concern the history of the town and the prominent families that live there. There are 27 stories here; some are sweet, and some are odd, and some leave you with a "so-what?" feeling because they really don't tell much of a story at all. None of them involve any real mysteries.
Of note, all the stories here were also once included in one of the novels as well. So yes, this was an attempt to cash in on the popularity of the series by simply reprinting old material. That's OK, especially for those who haven't read all 29 novels in the main series or for those who like having them all collected in a single volume. Just be aware of what you're getting. There is a short intro to each story by Qwill that provides a tidbit of info on who told him the tale and under what circumstances.
