Jim May grew up in the 1950's, among farm people who had lived along Illinois's Nippersink Creek for generations. Stories told around the kitchen tables, front porches, and horse-trading barns brought laughs, inspired love, and helped ease the sometimes tragic turn of life's events. Speaking in the familiar voice of a longtime neighbor, May shares humorous and affecting events, as well as his Chicago Emmy Award winning tribute to his father, "A Bell for Shorty".©1994 Jim May (P)1995 August House Publishers, Inc.

Reseñas editoriales

Adults will be most appreciative of Jim May's stories of his growing up in the rural Midwest. The stories are a little low-key, and May's telling lacks some of the vivacity that holds listeners of all ages. These aren't knee-slapping whoppers but mostly wry stories of friends and family. May speaks clearly and tells the stories at a lazy afternoon pace. Some listeners will delight in both the restrained style and homespun content.

These stories of farm life in Illinois along Nippersink Creek are wonderfully told, and give listeners a window into a different time in the history of rural America. I'm thankful that they are being preserved for current generations that surely haven't a clue what growing up in the 1950s was like. Having grown up on a farm myself in Kentucky in the 50s and 60s, I could relate to much of what Jim May had to say. And I want my own grandchildren to understand that this country wasn't built on Xboxes and shopping malls. The story of Jim's father milking the cows and shooting a stream of milk into the barn cat's waiting mouth made me smile and brought up memories of my own grandfather doing the same thing. The place of faith, church and giving in the family household also hit home for me. Jim was raised Catholic, as my husband was, and the discussion of purgatory made me laugh, 😂 as well as his tales of being an altar boy. The hobo in the barn on Christmas Eve is another favorite of mine in this collection, and how men "rode the rails" in those days looking for work. This set of wholesome tales of family life is suitable for listening by all ages and I highly recommend it.
