Synopsis
These fictional tales provide a continuous diversity of color and texture, a literary smorgasbord, as it were, with no attention to chronology or subject. All are derived from my personal experiences and/or historical record, and therein lies their credibility. But at some point in most of them, there is that departure from reality which substantiates their genre. Several stories juxtapose earthshaking events with their effects on the lives of the protagonists. Many are commentaries on the fortuities of fate. There is a pervasive belief that righteousness will prevail, and justice will be meted out commensurately. But as in life, exceptions to this ideal occur, alas! A droll humor is expressed frequently, and a less subtle one occasionally. Powerful emotional situations are portrayed, which serve to involve the reader and elicit his empathy. Throughout the stories is depicted the wonderment, the glory, and the power of nature. The salient thread unifying the tales is suggested by the book's title. The vagaries of fortune, ever unpredictable, work thei pranks on us, sometimes to our sorrow, but often to our joy!

- e***u (282)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- e***n (392)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
- 0***g (380)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
