“An amusing poem-like story, Aunt Osha follows Osha, a lady whose excessive talking irritates people and causes commotion everyday. When Aunt Osha disappears for fours days, the people are concerned and visit her to find her ill and lonely. They take care of her and entertain her until she feels better and resumes talking.” – Publisher’s Website
