Synopsis
"When we read the collection here we want still more." -Eudora Welty A pleasure jaunt through the irrepressibly funny world of a gifted raconteur All who know Charlotte Capers treasure her wit and her charismatic storytelling. Here a selection of her amusing narratives moves from conversation to the page as she takes the ordinary and makes it refreshing and fascinating. Clever, sophisticated, and entertaining, she ranges over many subjects-dogs, tenants, travels, an operation, babies, a car wreck, and small-town life at its ordinary gait. Those who read these witty essays written by a fabulous raconteur will feel included in a close and special circle. Charlotte Capers, former director of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, lives in Jackson, Mississippi.

Paperback. Condition: New. At last it's available again, and in paperback, the book that Charlotte Capers' hosts of readers have been urging back into print. One of Mississippi's most fascinating personalities and one of its absolutely best raconteurs, Capers can hold any reader of listener enthralled with her witty, delicious narratives. Here she focuses upon whatever seized her insights--mainly life in its ordinary gait--yet her reports of the smalltown scene are as alluring as the tales of Shaharazade.These delightful essays, as Eudora Welty says in the foreward, ""were written to amuse, and they abundantly do so."".
