Good collection of stories, some amusing, some moving

I have just finished reading this book and found it to be very enjoyable. The stories vary greatly, in length as well as in the type of content.

I think many of these stories would be enjoyable to read with the family, as The Old Crippled Hunter obviously enjoys speaking to children when telling a story.

Good read

A set of nice short parables in a different environment. A quick thoughtful read reminiscient of Aesop's fables. Definitely recommended.

Wonderful

Great reading. Writer is familiar to me and I would recommend that everyone should read this book. This is one book that should be in your book case.

booksbysteph says "So Much Potential"

Tens of thousands of years ago was a storyteller. He walked with a limp and became known as the crippled hunter. He was eccentric and colorful and you could hear him coming into your village by the jingle-jangles that came from his walking stick. When telling stories to a crowd with other storytellers, the old crippled hunter liked to spread his story out. This created excitement and suspense and the children loved him.

Read stories about life during the Ice age.

I GIVE THIS BOOK: 3 out of 5 stars

There are positive and negatives to this book. When reading it, I felt like I was young again and sitting around a campfire with my family listening to stories. There are some really good stories, but there are some stories that made no sense at all. I think with some changes, this could be a really great book of short stories that combine into one huge story.

First, the obvious is that this book is in desperate need of editing. It needs to be checked for word errors and grammar usage, especially how to properly use a comma.

I feel the story of Varnec could be expanded and turned into a complete book.

In the story Rolvalar, it seemed like this story was the beginning of the hunter's life story. If that is so, the book should have ended with that story. I would have brought the book to full circle. Yet more stories followed and the end just stopped. As if hitting a brick wall. The stories could have been arranged better to make the book more cohesive.

I was left with so many questions.
