The Old Car and Other Stories has four delightful stories. ‘The Old Car’ is a lovely story about a car reliving the good old days when it was active and happy. It contrasts that life with the sad and lonely life it now leads. The car desperately wants to feel needed and happy again. How that happens is what the story is all about. ‘The Peacock’s Performance’ is the story of a vain peacock who learns to be humble. ‘Bekanna and the Musical Mice’ is a cat-and-mouse story where the clever mice outwit a clever and cunning cat. The coronation of an owl as the king of birds is described in ‘The Owl’s Coronation’. But is the owl really wise and does he really become king? You will find the answer in the story.
