Fifty-two short stories written by a guy from the big suburbs who moves to a small town to find peace and nature. This humorous take on country life bounces from the present to the past and is sure to put a smile on your face no matter where you live. Partly truth but mostly fiction, you'll meet characters like Shotgun Sally, who joins a circus and gets kidnapped, Wright Mobedder, who gets stuck in Danville because he was in Wagon 201, Josh Davis, who left the country and became instrumental in running the Underground Railroad, and Crackerjack Connie, to name just a few. There are unusual stories about dogs, cats, raccoons, porcupines, alligators, bears, kangaroos and a runaway goat named Monty who brought a community together. Each tale is accompanied by a unique pencil drawing by artist Gary Eskew. The follow-up to Tales From Monkey City , this collection is destined to become an instant country essay classic.
