My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): whimsical
Another gem of a book! Reading this book was like walking into a curio shop filled with wondrous treasures. In each story you find an interesting or strange oddity to delight. Mind you, not all sweet and happy things though.

I liked the wordplay and imagery quite often presented in one sentence. Like this one...

Amusing quote: only one of many in this book
