Young Eddie tells us stories of his childhood. The simplicity combined with the acceptance of his every day and awe of his pretty wild times makes for a wonderful read. I absolutely loved this book, especially the caring that people showed for their animals and for one another. The author tells us that the stories may be a bit embellished, but they certainly seemed very real. I enjoyed the sense of having been close to experiences of a time and place where I could never visit.

Eddie has some tall tales, but that's what happens when you grow up in Texas. Personally, I believe in the flying pigs, but I'm not so sure about the bear. A lot of fun, and in between the shady stories, there's some good inside knowledge about Depression era Texas. Give 'er a read.
