Delightful listen

Light listen and very humorous at times. The author compiled a nice array of different stories. I spent an enjoyable weekend listening to this and as usual Paul McShorley did a wonderful job narrating this.

A man Born to Hang

I usually read Kens books. But, he sent me an Audible copy of this book and I really enjoyed it. Since I don't smoke, I really didn't need the information about how to quit. However, I would really like the recipe for that stuff to get rid of the mosquitos! There are so many little stories that I can't list them all. I highly recommend this book either in book format it Audible.

A great gathering of short stories to enjoy!

Ken Rossignol has compiled another good group of entertaining tales by a variety of authors from the Chesapeake region in the eastern United States. Some of these short stories are factual and some are invented.. Some are emotional while others are true to life humour – a little bit of everything that can be enjoyed over many sessions of reading/listening. The narration is well done and makes for a very interesting way to to spend some time and learn about the Chesapeake area.
