Features characters from the much loved 'Cat Who . . .' mystery series.
When Jim Qwilleran retired to Moose County (400 miles north of everywhere) with his old electric typewriter and his box of yellow lead pencils, he intended to write a book - a novel of crime and investigation with a metropolitan setting. He never finished the first page! Instead, he listened to the folktales of local people. As a journalist, Qwilleran was a good listener.
As descendants of pioneers told stories that had been handed down for generations, Qwilleran was recording a collection of Moose County legends worth publishing. He added some historical facts, stranger than fiction, gleaned from county archives.
Now Qwilleran had his book! He titled it 'Short And Tall Tales'. Most of the stories were short. Some may have been embellished with retelling through the years, though Qwilleran's informants wore they were true . . .
