Hero of Bullfrog Hill

This book should probably be kept in the bathroom because each chapter is just long enough for your morning constitution. You don't have to be born Southern to enjoy Hero of Bullfrog Hill but it couldn't hurt. Here are tales of adventure, like the story of a young boy who loses his nephew on a homemade sled during the only snow in the last two years and later gets caught skinny-dipping by his friend's sister. Here you will learn why lightning doesn't strike fish and how to frustrate the dreaded joint snake. There is also a dictionary to help our dear Yankee friends communicate with us and you will learn why John Jakes was a Yankee sympathizer. Here are tales of everyday living mingled with tales of the loss of loved ones. Here are love stories, ghost stories and some plain old lies.
