Opis

This book is an anthology of folklore and humorous short stories from the American Midwest. There are ten warm, wild, and action packed short fictional prose pieces. Many of the narratives are based on actual events. If you like deadpan humor served with a slice of wit you will find this to be a fun read. The book is like A Little Night Music, people enjoy reading it over and over. If you grew up in the Midwest and are over 50 this book will bring back fond memories. It is about small town America, coming of age, blundering criminals, and the frustrations of moving from a simple rural existence to a modern urban society. The first story reflects rural Kansas in transition from the Wild West to modern times. The last story is autobiographical and demonstrates how the best made plans of men often go astray. This is especially true if you invite a large male Australian Shepherd to share your life.
