Tall Tales and Short Stories

This book offers another opportunity to appreciate the value of family and kinship ties. From Mr. King’s prior publication, Imperfect Families: Setting Free the Skeletons of Kinship Neglect, a reader might recall this statement, “ . . . time spent with your children is precious. Just being at home regularly and talking about whatever is sufficient for the emotional development and comfort of every member of the family. Just talk.” In some ways, Tall Tales and Short Stories complements that important sentiment. There are, contained in this book, a variety of stories suitable for fun and sharing but useful, too, in communicating values held dear over generations.
