This collection was, hands down, the best hour I've spent with an audiobook in a very long time. Short stories are always an unknown quantity. Either they're wonderful and you end up wishing there was more to come or they're not and you promptly forget about them. The Kitchen Imps were neither. I fell in love with them from the opening sentence. They're funny, cleverly written and probably not suitable for young audiences but their antics tickled my funny bone while explaining some of those age old questions about the mysteries that arise in every household. What does happen to those odd socks? How did those jars and shelf foods end up on the kitchen floor, and why does the dog look so innocent?
And then, there's a story about a king, a thief and getting the best of the authorities.
The stories are well written and read by a tallented narrator who brings the characters and the settings to life with a vividness that puts you right in the centre of the action.
If you're looking for a quick read that will entertain and delight you, this one should be at the top of your TBR.

Huh. Ew. Yep. Gross. Funny. Cute. No thanks. Yes. That pretty much sums up the rollercoaster of thoughts I had while listening to this. It was like my brain was flipping through reaction flashcards. But hey, overall I was entertained—both by the stories and the narrator. Solid brain workout.
