If Sarah Addison Allen has a story then I'm in.

Loved this glimpse back at a more simple time. ( )

This book is full of short stories that take place in the South and yes, that is a capital s!!). If you were born and raised Southern these stories will make you chuckle. If you are from 'off' then you probably won't get it.

I found the stories funny and delightful. Especially the one entitled "Y'all Come" by Martha Crockett. Even those that have only been passing through will recognize that mantra of the South. What is so funny is, it reminds me of something that happened when I was little and visiting my grandparents down at the Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina border, except down in that neck of the woods the phrase was "Yuns come!" "The Wart Witch" by Susan Goggins brought back memories of travelling up to Hells Holler to visit some distant kin, and "Grandma's Cupboard" could have been written about my maternal grandmother. Anyone with an ounce of South in them will love this book. ( )
