Book Description
Subtitle: Stories from a Midwestern Childhood. Author: Jim May. About the Author: JIM MAY has been featured at storytelling festivals throughout the USA and in Wales and France. In 1989, May was awarded the Chicago Emmy Award for his story ¡°A Bell for Shorty,¡± which is included in this collection. Each year he appears at more than 150 venues from coast to coast. He lives in a restored barn along the banks of Nippersink Creek in upstate Illinois. . Awards: Named a Best New Book for New Readers by the Adult Lifelong Learning Section of the Public Library Association . Book description: Likened by critics to Garrison Keillor¡ªonly more ¡°deliberate and elegiac¡±¡ªJim May writes the stories of his youth, growing up in the rural Midwest between the Truman and the J.F.K. eras, where trading stories was as common as trading horses, and frequently required the same skills.¡°Neighboring,¡± as his mother calls it, was part of the social fabric.¡°In the spring of 1947 I took my first breath of Spring Grove's musky bottom-land air and began a journey down the path that would eventually return me to the valley where I learned the common stories told along the banks of Nippersink Creek.¡±These 18 poignant and humorous stories of life's joys and trials¡ªtold with the freshness of youth, yet tempered with the wisdom of age¡ªevoke a simpler time in our nation's history, without romanticizing its inherent hardships. .
