About this title

Review:

Filled with greedy joys, with small pleasures, polished like apples against a sleeve (Observer)

Often touching, often funny, always unexpected, the experience is as enriching as travel itself (New Statesman)

Celebratory and full of strange relish at life's oddness. The stories draw their strength from Márquez's generous feel for character, good and bad, boorish and innocent (William Boyd)
