Synopsis

You will meet in these pages a traveler without tickets, a lonely frog, and a reluctant consumer, seen with appreciation from the writer's unique point of view. Others are a small-town schoolboy, a farmer who loves his land, and a grandfather whose late-model car "has everything on it." The modern-day manipulators in suits and ties are here, along with the kindly old woodsman of the nursery tale and a wolf who openly deplores his loss of habitat.In these essays, individuals and families share the joys and challenges of their own times and seasons, having much to gain if the world can go forward without increased rumblings with wheels.
