|genre=Short Stories
|summary=Another parade of fascinating, unusual personalities and odd
events from the author of [[Willful Creatures by Aimee Bender|Willful
Creatures]]. This time out [[:Category:Aimee Bender|Aimee]]
introduces us to people like Hans the fake Nazi, young William to whom
all people look the same and Janet who decides to spice up her
love-life with detrimental results. Among other things we also
witness a less-than-altruistic anti-war demonstration and an odd
occurrence in an orchard showing how odd an apple-only diet could make
us.

|title=The Complete Short Stories: Volume One
|summary=John White was known to everyone as Crabber - a nickname which he once earned and which then stuck - and he grew up on the shores of Long Island in the nineteen-fifties. It was a close-knit community and a time when children had more freedom than they are likely to be allowed now. We watch as Crabber grows from being a boy still suffering from the death of his elder brother when we first met him through to a time when he's old enough to go on a hunting trip on the mainland with a local family. He tells his own stories, as truthfully as he can and with the sort of insight which children have before life injects its cynicism.
