Some liken him to Will Rogers. Others call him the rural South's Garrison Keillor. No matter who he is compared to, Harry Wayne Addison is truly a marvel of contemporary storytelling. His books successfully capture the simple values and family icons and ideals of growing up in North Louisiana during the depression. Through vignettes from his childhood, he offers simple morals of life from a simpler place and time. Creating a true-to-life Winesburg, Ohio of the south, Addison's stories evoke both tears and unrestrained laughter. These unabridged audio versions of Addison's work bring out the homestyle feeling of North Louisiana storytelling. Best listened to while rocking an afternoon away on the front porch, these cassettes are amusing and inspiring.
