Summary "Stories from the Old Attic" by Robert A. Harris is a collection of short stories likely written in the early 1990s. The book encompasses a range of narratives that convey moral lessons, whimsical tales, and philosophical musings, illustrating human experiences and values through various characters and situations. The opening of the book presents several brief stories, each with a distinct moral or philosophical takeaway. For instance, the first story portrays a man shoveling gravel and the conflicting judgments of his neighbors, hinting at the futility of trying to please everyone. Another narrative introduces the concept of perseverance through the tale of a boy overcoming ridicule to shoot a vulture. Other pieces touch upon themes like self-worth, societal expectations, and the search for human meaning, all conveyed through simple yet profound storytelling that invites readers to reflect on their own lives and choices. This blend of humor and wisdom sets the stage for a varied exploration of timeless truths within everyday life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
