Tell Me a Story - Softcover
A founder of the MJB Coffee Company in San Francisco, Mannie Bransten always dreamed of being a detective, but the only one in the family to "lend him an ear" was his young daughter Ruth, nicknamed Peanuts. For years Mannie told Peanuts his detective plots, including "Judge Not...", the tale of a monkey who takes revenge on a New York judge, "Look Out fa da Coive!" a tale involving MJB and the famous cable cars of San Francisco, and many other delightful tales. Ruth McDougall, the little girl who took in those stories as a child, recounts her father's detective stories in loving memory of an era gone by and a father who was an inveterate spinner of tales.
