One of my all-time favorite books is I Heard the Owl Call My Name. I have now read all four of her books, and they are all full of delight.
These short stories start off in a small-town, on a single street, and are about the people who live on that street. They are in chronological order as they were written and published, giving us a unique insight into small town America starting in the 1940s. A special treat is the short story which was the impetus to I Heard the Owl Call My Name.
These are marvelous bedtime stories. No nightmares will ensue. Each story is its own, though many, especially in the beginning, are connected. Stories I will read again.
I heartily recommend this book. For that matter, I heartily recommend her other three books. One of America's truly great writers right along with Willa Cather!
