James Harris

Tales from the Hayloft (eBook, ePUB)

A Maine Farm Memoir

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Tales from the Hayloft vividly relate a young boy's fears of being bombed on his family's small southern Maine farm at the end of WWII, or burnt out during The Great Fire of 1947. Soon fear turns to wonder with stories of flying bulls, tractor accidents, sandlot umpires, salty garagemen, puppy love, false reverends, stranded airplanes, and too many brushes with fate. Generous in spirit and rich in mechanical detail, James E. Harris's first collection is a historical time capsule of rural Maine life.
