Aunt Nancy and the Bothersome Visitors

Collected in one volume are four trickster tales by Phyllis Root with illustrations by David Parkins. 1) Aunt Nancy and Old Man Trouble, previously published in 1996 and winner of the Minnesota Book Award in 1997. 2) Aunt Nancy and Cousin Lazybones, previously published in 1996, and two new stories, 3) Aunt Nancy and Old Woeful, and 4) Aunt Nancy and Mr. Death. All of the unwanted visitors to Aunt Nancy's house try her patience completely; but somehow she manages to outsmart every one of her guests.
