Take this with you on your vacation
It is funny, extremely interesting, and makes you want to read more about some of its subjects.The author has a knack for setting up the story so that you, as the reader, will understand the in's and out's of small town life 80 to 100 years ago.Things that we do not give a second thought about, since dogs are now vacinated again rabies, the author details with serious humor.(I'm still laughing about the stampede story.)As I read the book the descriptions of people and places became an image in my mind similar to the school I attended as a child and the people I knew, not the mention the close encounters I also had with snakes. YOU WILL LAUGH OUT LOUD!
One of only two books that I have ever read that have made me laugh out loud.The setting is the little town of Clio, Alabama, in the 1930's--hometown of the author and of Alabama Governor George Wallace.Thecontent is a compilation of stories, really "Tall Stories," aboutreal people and real and imagined events.The reader will get a great feelfor the small-town South of the period, will learn lessons from the text,but most of all will enjoy the hilarious tales so well portrayed by theauthor.You will learn how to "tame" both husbands and wives,how not to have a big bulldog attack a little monkey, everything you needto know about "hoop snakes," and many more "useful"things.The book is one that people of all ages will enjoy.I've now readit three times, and still laugh at the stories! ...
