Synopsis (Goodreads):

If you give Oberon the Irish wolfhound a bath, he’s going to ask you for a story. Fortunately, his human, Atticus, has many centuries of life under his belt as the Iron Druid, and a whole lot of stories to share. Enjoy twelve new short stories from the New York Times bestselling series the Iron Druid Chronicles.

Join Oberon and his Boston terrier buddy, Starbuck, in the tub as they hear about Corie Ten Boom, Junko Tabei, Francisco de Miranda, Johannes Kepler, and many other figures from history spanning centuries. Sack Rome with King Alaric of the Visigoths or have a think with Auguste Rodin! Let the sparks fly with Michael Faraday or go down to the crossroads with Robert Johnson! And witness the fulfillment of the prophecy regarding the Triple Nonfat Double Bacon Five-Cheese Mocha, wherein a man in white with poor eyesight will craft a liquid paradox…!

Thoughts on Oberon's Bathtime Stories: Spending time with Oberon is always a joyful occurrence. The big guy knows what he enjoys and he's enjoys sausages and bathtimes. And Atticus. And Starbuck. Let's just say there are lots of things he enjoys (squirrels excluded) and he's always happy to share his love of said things.

One of the things he REALLY enjoys are when Atticus tells him stories during his bathtime. Atticus being a person who has lived an extraordinarily long, interesting life, he has many MANY events to draw from. He's met individuals who made impacts of both the big and small variety on the world and on him. Possibly most importantly, thank to Oberon, Atticus has now met the extraordinary individual who invented the Triple Nonfat Double Bacon Five-Cheese Mocha.

Life is good!

All in all, a deeply satisfying romp through snippets of history interspersed with Oberon's love of all things sausage. GOOD TIMES!
