Produktbeschreibung

Friday's House and Other Stories offers a captivating glimpse into the practicality of American farm life during the 1930s and 1940s. Through the author's vivid storytelling, readers are introduced to a cast of eccentric characters who face extraordinary challenges that are sure to uplift and inspire. Immerse yourself in a world of imagination as you encounter a thunderstorm that drenches you with its power, the honk of a goose that awakens you from slumber, and ponies trotting where they shouldn't be. You'll meet a cow and a woman living in a boxcar, a hen residing in a town library, and experience heartwarming moments that will bring tears to your eyes and laughter to your lips. The book's language is peppered with subtle surprises, and it offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of life in the Midwest during that era. But it also highlights the determination and perseverance of the people who lived there, as well as the awe-inspiring beauty of the land itself - from its twinkling stars to its majestic owls and butterflies.

Autorenporträt

Marilyn Dorf grew up in the heart of Nebraska on the farm her great-grandparents homesteaded. An only child, she spent much time reading and exploring nature, as well as playing with the cats and dogs and the farm animals. The one-room country school she attended was two miles away, and she walked back and forth most of the time. She spent her career as a secretary and in retirement enjoys writing poetry and short stories. She lives in Lincoln, Nebraska, with her dog and a houseful of books.
