Humor from the Country

Life during the early to mid-20th century is often seen as a time of backbreaking work for meager returns. Often, the strength and resiliency of family and neighbors are overlooked. In Humor From The Country, master storyteller Jerry Apps gives us insights into the lighter side of country life. Through stories based upon childhood memories, Apps shows us that country folk knew how to have fun, too. Stroll down memory lane with stories of Felix the intrepid barn cat and Nancy the obstinate cow. Reminisce with Apps as he recalls trying to fit in on his first day of high school and trying out for the baseball team. Laugh out loud while reading about the antics of the wily billy goat Bob or the foiled moonlight attempt to steal watermelons from the neighbor's field. Relive the memories of a young boy as he travels to a big city for the first time. Country witticisms and advice are interspersed throughout the book. Catch up on your country lingo by learning how to speak "farm talk". Enjoy life as it used to be through the eyes of one of America's most beloved storytellers. Humor From The Country will warm your soul and lighten your heart. Book jacket.Apps, Jerry is the author of 'Humor from the Country' with ISBN 9781930596009 and ISBN 1930596006.
