This collection presents nine pieces that were read over the air by Maitland, a longtime Canadian broadcaster whose voice is featured on the accompanying CD. Included are stories, poems, and a recipe by authors such as Margaret Atwood, O. Henry, and Robert Louis Stevenson. Handsome oil and acrylic paintings accentuate the mood of each selection, from poignant to cynical to humorous.
