A Box of Trinkets

Allen Johnson Jr., a great teller of children's tales (see the PICKER MCCLIKKER books) also has much to say as an adult--and he says it in a fun and engaging manner! Johnson's pages are full of potato soup surprises, feisty army sergeants, inventive soldiers, luxury yacht voyages, train rides you wish you had taken yourself and an occasional slap on the wrist for all the silly things society tries to serve up without first being asked. This is like a really fun diary! Read with joy the exploits and thoughts of an unapologetic Southern writer who's been there and sometimes done that a few more times than you and I!
