Publisher's Summary:
Simon Snootle and Other Small Stories is about seven misguided tales of humorous woe by several downtrodden characters that are simply looking to be themselves.

He is not aware of any tragedy of the situation, but rather makes the best of it, knowing that eventually more things will fall in as he did.

Unique & Beautiful
A fabulous collection of tiny stories. The book itself is exquisitely handbound; a true work of art in today's mass-produced world. The author writes in a style not seen much these days, giving it a very Edward Gorey-esque feel. I recommend it to anyone looking for something different, something clever, and/or something rare. There is great talent in this teeny piece of art!
Handmade delight!!
This hand bound book of short stories is a wonderful addition to ANYONE'S collection. Well written and creative, each story is accompanied by simple illustrations that help the words play out in your head while you read! A lot of obvious love has gone into the making of this book and the author's passion is visible from cover to cover!
Simon Snootle and OTHER small stories
Simon Snootle and OTHER small stories is a collection of seven short stories that introduce us to a variety of characters who all live very bizarre lives. For instance, Simon Snootle himself lives in a cistern with some cats, where he fell as a child and his parents never bothered to pull him out, in fear of what else may come up with him; or Mr. Slowbug, who may or may not have discovered that he is forever more going to be a fashion accessory. The stories are quirky and unusual and the accompanying illustrations fit the mood of the stories perfectly. However, I honestly think that unless you are a fan of the likes of Edward Gorey or Tim Burton, you probably won't get much out of these stories; but the Gorey and Burton fans will love this book.
What makes the volume really shine, however, is the physical book itself; it is handmade! In the author's own words: "...I wanted to make sure I had a personal connection with how each book was created...writing, illustrating, drafting, printing, binding, and pressing each by hand." To say that Lorin Morgan-Richards made a small work of art out his book is an understatement. The book is printed on acid-free paper and bound in a faux-leather cover, and the finished product is a loverly little edition that has a slight quirkiness and imperfection to itself that goes right along with the characters that are held inside it's pages; honestly, I could easily see this sitting on any bookshelf in any store, it is so well presented.
Fans of Gorey and Burton and the like, don't hesitate to pick up a copy for yourself, as I don't think you will be disappointed. Morgan-Richards has created a host of fun characters and has given them a place to live in a beautiful, homemade book. The stories are quick and it won't take you much time at all to finish reading the book, but the overall package and the effort that Morgan-Richards put into his book from start to finish will certainly impress you as it did me.

When I received this book my first thought was how nice it was to have such a lovely example of true creativity. From cover to cover you can sense the authors passion and depth.
