The Ant-Sugar Tales | |
=================== | |
By Candice Yellowflower- | |
this-is-an-example-of-a-long-word-that-should-match-as-well | |
"The _Ant-Sugar Tales_ is a collection" of short stories told from the | |
perspective of a fine young lady from [Venice][1], who has some run-ins | |
with a few [inquisitive insects][2]. Each tale presents a moral quandry, | |
which the ants are quick to solve with their antly wisdom and | |
know-how. Some of the moral lessons presented are: | |
* Laundry: How not to get caught in soiled knickers. | |
* Used Ticket Stubs and Their Impact on the Universe | |
* I'm Keeping a Birdhouse in my Attic | |
Use of Metaphor | |
--------------- | |
The author's splended use of metaphor can be attributed to her growing | |
up in an art-supply store. Her characters are richly outlined, but her | |
unusual descriptions can sometimes be a bit jarring in places, such as | |
her description of the old caretaker that lives inside a hollow tree in | |
her yard: | |
> His skin was smooth like Magnani Pescia 100% acid-free cold pressed | |
> 22x30" Soft White Paper, with fine hair like the bristles of a Habico | |
> Lasur Superb Oil Glazing Brush Size 10. | |
