A plain-spoken Southern farmer, in his own rich dialect, talks about the son born to him and his wife one Christmas. In a series of monologues he describes the boy’s christening, his schooling under Miss Phoebe, his graduation, his courting and finally the wedding presents, with every story coloured by a father’s pride, worry and unconscious humour.
Tender and funny, a small masterpiece of American dialect writing to read aloud at Christmas. Download the free EPUB.
