This was short , and so sweet and a lovely add on to a book I already really liked the style off (Strange Weather in Tokyo) .  I’m also a sucker for myths and legends and folk lore , coming from a family that emphasized the slavic tales that were part of my own culture .

 I found out I bought this one short story months and months earlier than Tokyo so it was a pleasant surprise rediscovering this in my bookshelf and sitting down and reading . I recommend both books . Lovely .
