As the title suggests, it purports to be the collection of Moose County legends that Qwill collected as he talked to his friends and neighbors and was going to publish "someday." Lillian Jackson Braun published this book in 2002 - I don't recall the completion of Qwill's book being mentioned in any of the Koko and Yum Yum books, but I pretty much inhaled most of those books so it's possible I just missed the reference. Anyhow, I'd hadn't read it before, I guess because it wasn't part of the "The cat who" sequence. It was nice to find a "new to me" part of this series. It was nice to see familiar names, even though the stories are just fragments that don't tell us anything more about the Qwill story. And it's nice to read more from Lilian Jackson Braun at her best. For me, this book was a far more satisfying end for the "the cat who" series than "60 Whiskers," the last book Ms. Braun published.

Koko, Yum Yum, & Qwill have been part of our family for a long time. Ms. Braun will really be missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-152796665076125685.post-2966843321709551182011-06-07T14:23:31.176-07:002011-06-07T14:23:31.176-07:00I've never read any of that series, but it mus...I've never read any of that series, but it must be good to have gone on so long.
