Up Sumac Lane: And Other Short Stories

En savoir plus sur le livre

The third in the series of short stories by the beloved Mennonite author Christmas Carol Kauffman. This delightful collection of stories was originally published in the 1930's in the Youth's Christian Companion.This title joins the other five in the Comin Home Soon (Vol 1) and In the time of Lilacs (Vol 2). Before the Fall (Vol 4); According to His Purpose (Vol 5)After reading just one of her stories, the reader is captured by her simple yet powerful prosaic style. It seems as if Carol had the gift to craft words at the first passing... as they flowed from her mind to the pencil. Rarely did she edit or alter these stories but just wrote as the words came. It was as if the words came from elsewhere and she was but the earthbound conduit of heaven's dew distilling upon her fertile and innocent mind.
