The stories do not all take place in California, but my favorite two at the end, "The Mystery at the Hacienda" and "Chu-Chu" do. They are written to be in the time of California when the Americans from the east began to arrive and mingle with the Spanish Dons.
For my taste, this is a perfect short-story collection. Variety, light-hearted, not every tale ends happily but the ending seems just or reasonable. None leave you feeling that the writer got tired of the story and didn't know how to end it. ( )
