The book is set out into the 4 seasons and is accompanied by beautiful artwork that I wish I could keep forever. Each short story is about 30 pages and is a great way of consuming whimsical fantasy. There's even a greek retelling for those who like a modern take on a classic greek story. There are so many short stories that I wish were longer but alas that's how it goes with short story collections. 

First of all, the cover intrigued me; a zebra having a meal, obviously I had to read the description. I find myself attracted to east Asian literature, they have an element of normal, everyday, monotonous life with a surrealist element. This book focuses more on loneliness and obsession.
I found that it was dragging after the first couple of stories, which made it difficult to finish but I persevered.
