This book is a bundle of tales from the hinterlands
of America, each one collected from Pond's Back Forty column, syndicated
to newspapers around the country. This book features stories like
Ra-a-alph the dreaded fish feeding syndrome - when everyone
on the boat seemed to be named "Ra-a-alph," and those
who weren't sick are the one giving advice. "Look at the horizon."
"Don't look down." "Eat a good breakfast." "Don't
eat breakfast." "Go to bed early." "Stay up
all night." This book is fun reading for anyone with a love
of the outdoors or a taste for the country.
