Synopses & Reviews
To a wily thief, old Aunt Skilly seems the perfect victim, but when the man tries to steal the quilts Aunt Skilly plans to sell, he discovers that he has underestimated her intelligence and self-sufficiency -- not to mention her pet goose.
Review
"As excellently wrought as its heroine's handiwork, this tale is filled with wry particulars and atmospheric details. Skillful indeed."
