In her new book, "Cricket and other short stories" (published by Xlibris AU), Mary Brooks blurs the line between the mundane and the marvelous, the real and the speculative and invites readers to look at life and the world with fresh, new eyes.

"Cricket and other short stories" is a collection of tales of humanity and the things that make life more colorful and interesting. Brooks examines the book's different topics with curiosity and enjoyment. Each story is peopled by a cast of richly drawn characters and it is driven by a plot that will keep readers engaged from beginning to end.

This anthology is more than a literary adventure, it is a testament to the wonders that the ancient tradition of storytelling offers. Spellbinding and original, "Cricket and other short stories" offers something to every reader - it has humor, insightful observations about life and colorful imagination.
