Produktbeschreibung

In the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien, Madeleine L'Engle and C.S. Lewis, Roger Robbennolt has fashioned the collection children's stories for adults. In recounting childhod with a expiriences as "autobiographical mythologies," Robbennolt offers a place of refuge where the child within us can find healing. Sharply hpned images weave together laughter and tears to both amuse and call forth compassion and a fuller insight into the human condition. During his life as a performer and minister, Robbennolt regularly told the stories of Gletha the Goatlady aloud to audiences of children. In print, the adventures and misadventures of a young boy in Minnesota, 1942, touch on the universally human need to feel whole.

Roger Robbennolt (1934-2004) grew up in Northern Minnesota, later travelling the country as a carnival barker. He graduated from Hamline Univesity in St. Paul with degrees in philosophy and literature, late studying at Columbia University and Oberlin College of Theology. He became a minister in 1963, and served churches in Oberlin Ohio, Tampa, Pasedena, andWalla Walla Washington, always co-pastoring with his wife Pat. They retired to Pleasant Hill Tennessee. This e-book was prepared by Phillip Jones with great gratitude to Tom Turkle, and Catherine Owers at Ave Maria Press, and to Pat. All proceeds from this e-book will be donated to the Cumberland County Playhouse, where Roger loved attending performances. His regular reviews of CCP shows were his last published writing.
