Laughing while reading this book by Donald Davis is almost as good as laughing while listening to Donald Davis tell the stories about his growing up during the 1950s and 1960s in the hills of North Carolina. He is a master storyteller, having heard the man myself. Some of the place names seem to be fictitious, but the stories are true to the time and are very funny. no reviews | add a review
