DESCRIPTION:
They have already begun listening and enjoyed these stories together I bought this as a birthday gift for my son. I have the cassette tape set and he grew up listening to these stories and laughing over them with me. Now his son is that age and he wants to pass on the tradition. They have already begun listening and enjoyed these stories together. I never tire of hearing them and the entertaining way Garrison Keillor develops the characters and the interlinking narratives. My favorite of the summer stories (and my son's, too) is "Tomato Butt.". The Good Old Shows Ginny I enjoyed the "Old Stories" when Garrison was there.. Five Stars great stories
From the Back Cover "These stories were made possible by the people who sat and listened to them, and I am very grateful for their patience. They remind me of the people (including me) who used to sit around and listen to Uncle Lew Powell reel off a few. This batch was done in memory of that dear man and of other greats I've known whom God gave a powerful affection for humankind, and the gift of gab." -- Garrison Keillor, 1983 . From the stage, they appear so calm and handsome and hopeful, I wish I could sit with them and wait for whatever it is they're waiting for
