Hello Towns!Written as brief editorials, this work creates a picture of the moving life of a town, lifted right out of reality, the changing seasons, the event of the country court, the streets, the comedies and tragedies of a year in a small town's life. The book moves forward from week to week throughout the year. Much of it includes the writer's own reporting of the events of the town; and some of it is the imagination of the writer playing over the life about him. |
