Two Old Women: Book Review

One day, I was browsing the bookshelves of my local library looking for something interesting to read. There’s one particular shelf in an adult section of the library that I like to browse all the time, and it’s one that has books of myth, folklore, and fairytales . I eventually found a book that I had never heard of or read before; Two Old Women . Two Old Women is a book written by Velma Wallis . It is an Alaskan legend of the Gwich’in people that Wallis’s mother told her after they had finished collecting firewood (p. xi). According to Wallis, her mother had told her this story because of an earlier conversation they had while collecting firewood (p. X.) Wallis was amazed by the fact that her mother still collected her own firewood despite being in her early fifties, and despite the work being physically difficult for her (p. xii) According to Wallis, the elders amongst her people would work until they couldn’t move or until they died (p. xii).

The Cat Chef



The Cat Chef is one of the best chefs around.

Heavenly foods for cats always abound!

She puts mice in dough and beats them dead,

To make warm fluffy loaves of buttery mice bread.


Dropping mice in boiling pots of milk, catnip, and cream,

She makes the most delicious stew a cat could ever dream.

She fries mice tails seasoned with salt, pepper, and spice,

And makes a side of catnip sauce and soft white rice.


She makes roasted rabbits, each with an apple stuffed in their mouth,

Their sweet aroma draws every cat from the north and south.

She makes whisker-licking good chicken with a side of honeydew,

It’s so tasty it makes even the most feral cats mew.


She makes biscuit wraps filled with anchovies and flounder.

You are welcome to stuff yourself, but you may become rounder.

And the dessert, oh the dessert, what a wonderful sight,

The tastiest and most salivating sugary delights!


Blueberry frozen yogurt and mice cheesecakes,

Chunks of salmon sprinkled on foaming milkshakes!

Fish and rodent jellies and puddings with gumdrops,

Pumpkin pies, and vanilla ice cream with tuna heads on top!


The Cat Chef uses the best ingredients,

From chipmunks to sea trout,

So hurry, grab her treats at once, 

Before she runs out!
