They are sequential but self-contained comic romps that are not intended for children yet neither are they particularly profane. Over the course of the stories Tinkle is involved in a work action against Santa, community theater, and thwarting the diabolical machinations of a malevolent elf named Gurgle. Cute, but with a bit of an edge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe other four stories are more or less connected through a quaint fictional New England town called Cold Brook. These stories are even more divergent, ranging from a Wodehouse-inspired comedy of modern manners to a science fiction tale of A.I. spirituality, a captain's duty, and interdependence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paull L.
