About this listen
Four original, unabridged, full-cast productions of Gail Carriger's most beloved fantasy short stories:
"The Curious Case of the Werewolf That Wasn't, the Mummy That Was, and the Cat in the Jar": A mummified cat, a secret agent, and an aristocrat entangle Alessandro Tarraboti (father of Alexia Tarraboti from the Parasol Protectorate series) in a rollicking, wry adventure into the supernatural secrets of ancient Egypt.
"Marine Biology": Inconveniently a werewolf, unexpectedly alive, and secretly gay, marine biologist Alex finds himself forcibly shackled to a flirty merman on the hunt for some sinister selkies. An unconventional romance between impossible partners told with the kind of wit and comedy that made Gail a household name.
"Fairy Debt": Despite being a fairy, Cups can't grow wings due to a death promise to a local king. Entering service in his castle as the Least Jester, she must find a way to earn her wings while navigating the hazards of cupcakes, tea demons, and the occasional Earth dragons.
"My Sister's Song": Fantasy, history, and subversive strategy collide in this Roman-era tale of a warrior, Mithra, who must repel an entire legion alone and armed only with a very peculiar weapon. Her sticky solution to this impossible problem must be heard to be believed.
Featuring performances by fellow fantasy writers Philippa Ballantine, Chris Lester, and Tee Morris as well as an original soundtrack by composer Danny Schade.

They were nice, but I'm happy I didn't buy it for the other ones.
The parasol story was good though!
A good addition to the main series 😊
Worth it?

Individual stories:
"The Curious Case of the Werewolf that Wasn't, the Mummy that Was, and the Cat in the Jar" - the earliest story related to the Parasolverse, featuring Alessandro Tarabotti and Floot the First! An excellent Egyptian adventure story. I'd love to read more of Alessandro's adventures if this is anything to go by!!
"Marine Biology" - the first story in the San Francisco Shifters series, telling how the SF pack came to exist in the first place. Funny and irreverent, I love it. It does contain M/M relationship content though, so may not be suitable for everyone.
"Fairy Debt" - a sweet story about a fairy trying to earn her wings. Lovely.
"My Sister's Song" - a story (rooted in true events) about how a tribe use honey to defeat Roman invaders.
An excellent value boxset of great stories
