This installment in the popular series featuring journalist Jim Qwilleran and his perspicacious Siamese, Koko and Yum-Yum, takes the trio on vacation to Aunt Fannyᄑs lakeside cottage.

George Guidallᄑs versatile voice deftly adapts to the storyᄑs pace, speeding up just enough to hook the listener with the rising excitement.
