The Depression Kid and Other StoriesLulu.com, 2006 - 80 páginas H. Dean Yearns writes charming vignettes of his boyhood growing up in poor rural Missouri during the Great Depression, from a neighborhood gathering to listen to a Joe Lewis fight on the radio, to encounters with bumblebees, making a coonskin cap, and cooling off in the windmill tank in the heat of summer. His is an original and nostalgic American voice from the Greatest Generation. |
