These are wonderful short stories that mostly take place in south Georgia and northern Florida. And Bailey White is a supreme story teller. Her mother is a wonderful source of these tales. Each story will have you chuckling.

Bailey White writes about her tiny home town, a Georgia hamlet full of fascinating neighbors, overstuffed homes, and an unusual number of swans. In the tradition of such authors as Garrison Keillor and Fannie Flagg, she tells warm and funny stories about what happens when her Mama decides to train a taxidermist to cook, about teaching school with the help of the Titanic and a one-eared intellectual, about the challenge of gardening in Georgia, where "vegetation does not know its place".

This group of short stories, rich in humor and folksy charm, was written by a young teacher. The stories are about her life in rural South Georgia. You'll laugh out loud!
