Neither Rhyme Nor Reason Exactly
by Judith Pettijohn McConnell
A variety of author stories, essays and rhymes along with reviews of books, short stories, plays and music. Title, Neither Rhyme nor Reason Exactly reflects the fact that each has nothing to do with the others. In two instances the author animates inanimate objects e.g., Christmas tree ornaments talking with one another.
What People Are Saying…
I related to the author’s stories and essays comparing these to times during my own life. Drawings in some added to the fun. The writing throughout shows an exceptional talent and imagination. Her reviews are informative, interesting and entertaining. What a great way to learn.

CHARM SCHOOL
A collection of fetching vignettes that evoke so very much both the charm and acerbic wit of a very wise observer of life whose name was Dorothy Parker …another generation, another world, but not a lost world. Well worth interrupting your binge watching to visit this world.
-Jane Pettijohn
