Critic reviews

"When we hear Garrison Keillor...we realize how much the page does not convey, how crucial that miraculous voice is." (Chicago Tribune)

good for fans

I am a fan of Mr. Keilor, and this was a good book for me. Easy to fall asleep by, but still interesting.

If you like the NFLW, and the other Wobegon type books, you will appreciate this. Wait for it to go on sale though.

Keillor is a national treasure

I can't believe that in my 60 years here on Earth, I had never heard of this guy. He made me laugh so hard I forgot about the election. Not just a great writer but an amazing narrator to. I can't wait to listen to more.

At times endless dribble of words

A few funny quips - otherwise dull.

Love Garrison Keeler

A great and timeless set of broadcast stories and readings. Wonderful that it’s read by the author. Can’t beat that.

Good laugh.

I always enjoy Mr. Keillor' tales.

Some cause me to chuckle and others cause tear producing painful belly laughs.

One needs to be careful about listening to Mr K and driving.
His story about home gardening and the resulting over abundance
Of vegetables and distribution remains my all time favorite.
We were listening to the above story and driving on the 301 outside Windsor, Ontario. We began laughing so hard that we could barely see the other vehicles.

This collection does not disappoint. It has the chuckles and the side splitting clean wholesome joy we expect from Garrison Keillor.
