Four weird little stories by e.e. cummings

I picked this up to learn some fun facts before going to the ren faire this weekend. I liked the information about the clothes, but I wanted more detail about the lives of people. The majority of the book was just lists of kings and saints and felt more like a Wikipedia article than a "guide to everyday life." I think it's time for a modernized edition for post-internet readers.

A cute little story about two girls who find a button that is actually a man turned into a button by his sister. (Spoiler alert: both siblings are witches and weirdly obsessed with buttons.)

A cute little Halloween story about a witch whose familiar is a dog -- until a little boy loves him enough to save him from her mischief.

Poirot, il est magnifique.

This incredible story has giant robots, tons of science, even more adventure, a fantastic cast of characters, and reads like a dossier from the apocalypse. Cannot recommend enough.
