Shy Miss Twiggley keeps to herself living with a dog, a cat, and some bears in a treehouse on the edge of town, but the mayor's wife thinks this kind of nonconformity is unacceptable. But then a natural disaster shows the value of thinking (and living) outside the box.

The cliched plot and bland moral didn't do much for me. Putting the story into verse didn't help much either.

Oh Edward Streeter, your world-weariness is so amusing! You also seem to have written chapters on Christmas cards and holiday parties especially for my parents' benefit. I'm just glad I don't have to wrestle through New York for the month leading up to the holidays.

Also, I bought a signed copy on eBay for $7.50. Pretty rad.

Aw, what a sweet fantasy. Now, I hoped that Miss Twiggley would be allowed to just choose to be a hermit, but it turns out she's just shy and needs to be brought out of her shell. Still, it's good that the village learns a lesson in tolerance, too.

I still want to live in a weeping willow tree with just a dog (not even a color tv) when I'm old.
