A collection of eighteen romantic short stories from the award-winning and much-loved Eva Ibbotson, A Glove Shop in Vienna will show you the great passions and astute observations of everyday life. Join Great Uncle Max, torn between his grand and secret love for Susie, the enchanting glove shop assistant, and the devotion of his opera-singing wife. Meet Miss Bennett, drama mistress at the fading Markham Street Primary School, whose search for a baby Jesus for the nativity play yields unexpected and miraculous results.

By turns comical, satirical, romantic and always unpredictable these wise stories are a delight from start to finish.

I'm so happy I had the pleasure of reading another Angela Panther story as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I don't know how Carolyn does it, but this one hit the mark again, even though it was a short story. I just love Angela and her banter with Fran and Mel. This one had an unexpected twist and I'm happy to see Chantilly made her appearance in the book. I'm hoping that there is a book in the (near) future where they team up to help people, maybe solve some crime together. Thank you for letting me read this cool story, I loved it. I love Angela and I can't wait to read more about her. I loved that this book took place where she grew up, how an old love made his appearance to her, to go back to her high school years. I can only say this; if you like Lilly Sprayberrie and/or Chantilly, you simply must read Angela Panther too. You won't regret it!
