Pepper and Salt
Howard Pyle
Leído por LibriVox Volunteers
One must have a little pinch of seasoning in this dull, heavy life of ours; one should never look to have all the troubles, the labors, and the cares, with never a whit of innocent jollity and mirth. Yes, one must smile now and then, if for nothing else than to lift the corners of the lips in laughter that are only too often dragged down in sorrow. … Yet listen! One must not look to have nothing but pepper and salt in this life of ours—no, indeed! At that rate we would be worse off than we are now. I only mean that it is a good and pleasant thing to have something to lend the more solid part a little savor now and then! …
Are you ready? Very well; then I will tell you a story. - Summary from the Preface (3 hr 7 min)

Reseñas
Not overly impressed with this collection
mikezane
This is a collection of short stories and poems that are very much like the Aesop fables. Some are interesting, some are boring, and some are blah. I lost interest at chapter 13 and moved onto another book. Regarding readers: Maria did a fine job, I was able to follow her without issue. Ray was more difficult. His cadence was blurry in some way that I had trouble following. I believe this story will appeal more to fans of the dramatic, which I am not.
