About This Book

A series of comic, episodic stories traces the misadventures of Tish, a spirited, imaginative woman, and her intimates as they contrive bold schemes, impersonations, and impromptu excursions. Episodes range from a walking tour with a donkey and the ruses used to disguise a companion to small-town intrigues, domestic quarrels, and daring improvisations such as hiding out in a cave. The narratives balance slapstick incidents with observational humor, emphasizing friendship, inventive problem-solving, and the social mores that generate both embarrassment and advantage for the characters.
