These are warm and funny tales of growing up on a farm in Kansas—as told by the master, internationally acclaimed story teller, Barry Clay.
Wrapped in a remarkably intelligent and detailed package, here is all of the mischief and the love and the pranks of farms boys out to enliven a never-ceasing grind of milking and other farm chores. The autobiographical tales are celebrations of life, and with abundant good humor deal with its serious themes of perceptions and consequences. The vignettes capture heroic and dastardly deeds of growing up—what we do, and what is done to us. And our never-forgotten emotions...
This a book for boys of all ages: adolescents will immediately identify and howl. Adults will remember those days that were only yesterday, and read the book at one sitting—feeling wonderful!
The author is the Program Director of Gifted Education of the American School in Singapore. He is a Kansas son, widely traveled, and maintains dual American/Irish citizenship.
