Thirteen short stories, with all but one set in Aberystwyth, Wales. The cast of characters includes an uncle, his brother, and his parents. The characters are invested with certain attributes - strengths and frailties - and the pleasure of the stories lies in the characters, despite their qualities being conveyed somewhat obliquely. A child's voice is employed, but the stories are intended for adults. One or two are somber, but for the most part they are humorous.
