Editorial Reviews

A delightful collection of short stories based on the folk tale of "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, etc. We used to sing this as children and we just knew that when we got married we would work the jingle into our wedding, although I don't think I ever found a "silver sixpence" to put in my shoe. This was fun to read and would make a nice gift for an engagement party. Or even as a Christmas gift.
