uneven, but when it's good it's very good

I am about to buy it as a gift for my mother after having read it (from the library) when it was new. Some of the six stories could be skipped but two are so compelling that I think of them often and look forward to reading them again. They are La Mere Ubu and Errieta's Risk. Enjoy
