Customer Reviews

one of the best loved authors of our times

Reading Mr Stuart's books takes me back to a simple world of my father and mother. Both were from the area and many of the charaters are real for me. I will always hope the world Mr. Stuart gave us will endure in each of us. Truly a remarable man. And one of my 3 1/2 year old grandaughters favourite sleepy time books.

Good Book, Minor Complaint

I bought this book sight-unseen as a gift for my 77-year old mother since she lives not so far from Mr. Stuart's neck of the woods and I thought she would enjoy it (I'd read several on Mr. Stuart's short stories when I was going to school). One minor comment: while the text certainly isn't 'phone book' tiny, I wish they'd used a larger text and made two volumes out of it if necessary. Still, I don't want to be too critical of a good effort, so I'll give it 4. Mr. Stuart was quite an inspiration to the teachers in my hometown of Clarksville, Tennessee.
