A joy and delight
What a joy it was to drop back into the world of the Folly and all of the wonderful characters there. The introduction matches my thoughts exactly. Ahh, wonderful!

Entertaining snippets from behind the scenes
Just a bit of fun between the main Rivers of London books. I particularly enjoyed Abigail's perspective so will look forward to the next novella What Abigail did last Summer.

Not what I expected
For the cost at $14.95 ,this short books I purchased wasnt for me, sadly disappointing.
It was like reading Nursery Rhymes ,with no ending .
The rest of Bens books have ben more than Fantastic...., 100% Ben.
I just find short books annoying .
Bens past books had some great story lines with Kobna doing an awesome job with the narrations.
Come on Mr Aaronovitch, a lengthy book next time with some of the same characters (maybe introducing a few new characters ) ?
