I’m sorry, but our master of ceremonies’ reading of the story was so disjointed, dragging and constantly stopping and starting that I couldn’t finish it, never mind comprehend what was going on.

Wow, Luisa can really make this story come alive in our imagination thanks to all the little details. Let’s hope we can listen to more of her stories soon.

There’s such a lovely attention to detail. I hope you’ll continue to post more pieces by this writer!

Luisa’s amazing. I am never disappointed by anything she writes, and this was no exception. What an imagination she has, and such rich storytelling. Fantastic pick!

What a delightful story! Fun and funny, and very true to life. From Luisa Perkin’s great descriptions I could very clearly “see” the room and the keyboard, and “hear” the machinery. Her characterizations are spot on, and it’s easy to indentify with both of them.

I’m an old mole myself, and come into contact with many hasty, modern ferrets. Most of them wouldn’t even sip from Pierian springs unless it was bottled and had added vitamins. I loved the moral of the story, and how gently it was placed.

Thanks for introducing me to Luisa’s fiction. Please ask her to write more in this series.

Loved it! I wasn’t sure if I would be able to relate to the animal characters, but I was caught up with them right away. More from Luisa, please!

The storytelling was a visual feast. I liked the way the relationship between Dodmen and Folly developed. Give me more.

Awesome story, rich and bizarre, it conjured up vivid and fantastic images in my head as i listened. I hope to find more of Luisa Perkins’ writings
