But when he meets a new friend, he discovers that memories and experiences make for the best collection of all. Perfect for fans of Memory Jars and In a Jar.Robinson the raccoon loves to collect things—big and small. His collection is amazing. One day he collects a shell that turns out to be . . . Rosie the snail! Rosie is not impressed by Robinson’s stuff, and she takes him to see what she collects: breezes on the hilltop, the bubbles in the stream, and the magnificent northern lights. Robinson soon realizes that the best things to hold on to aren’t always things—instead, experiences with friends will last a lifetime.

This is the greatest collection of short stories ever printed, from the pens of eight brilliant, international writers based in Stockholm. That statement might not true. But is it a blatant lie or merely hyperbole? Where does one draw the line between truth and lie? Is it ever okay to lie? Follow our writers as they unspool the threads of different types of lies. What happens when a father replaces a dead pet without telling his daughter? When society leaves us no choice but to lie? When the stories in our heads become intertwined with our reality? A ghosted lover's journey through grief and a journalist who just wants to report the Truth of a tragic event... these are some of the stories that await you. From white lies that protect to webs of manipulation that entrap, Aurora's Thread invites you to explore the tenuous reasons why we lie and to delve into the sometimes drastic, sometimes humorous, consequences thereof.
