My Family and Other Exotic Beasts

This book contains a collection of stories about a most particular family. If you agree with George Santayana that "the family is one of nature's masterpieces", please save your money and purchase something else. If, on the other hand, you think that "friends are God's apology for relatives", you may find some of these stories amusing. And if any of these stories remind you of your family, so much the better (and our best wishes to you and yours).
