The Ant-Sugar Tales =================== By Candice Yellowflower The _Ant-Sugar Tales_ is a collection of short stories told from the perspective of a fine young lady from [Venice][1], who has some run-ins with a few [inquisitive insects][2]. Each tale presents a moral quandry, which the ants are quick to solve with their antly wisdom and know-how. Some of the moral lessons presented are: * Laundry: How not to get caught in soiled knickers. * Used Ticket Stubs and Their Impact on the Universe * I'm Keeping a Birdhouse in my Attic Use of Metaphor --------------- The author's splended use of metaphor can be attributed to her growing up in a art-supply store. Her characters are richly outlined, but her unusual descriptions can sometimes be a bit jarring in places, such as her description of the old caretaker that lives inside a hollow tree in her yard: > His skin was smooth like Magnani Pescia 100% acid-free cold pressed > 22x30" Soft White Paper, with fine hair like the bristles of a Habico > Lasur Superb Oil Glazing Brush Size 10.
