This book of Jesse Stuart's captures the essence of the people who lived their lives in the Kentucky countryside not so long ago. You can almost smell the herby fragrance of meadows as you read. If I were an English teacher I would require students to read at least 2 of Jesse Stuart's books. The short stories in this book are satisfying and enlarge your view of the rhythms of country people.
