Awful Green Stuff and the Nakedness of Trees
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Harriette Lerrigo-Leidich literally grew up with printer's ink on her hands. The daughter of a Nebraska newspaperman, she began her career as a columnist when she was fourteen, nearly seventy-five years ago. She continues to engage readers with a marvelously evocative, distinctive voice that combines the warm friendliness of your favorite neighbor with the keen perception of a seasoned journalist.
Awful Green Stuff and the Nakedness of Trees is a collection of articles that explores the author's rich memories of the past to give meaningful insights into the puzzling complexities of contemporary society.
In these homespun, but sharply observant pieces we are taken back to a time in small town America when the general store was the lively information center of the community, a sliver of an alligator pear was an exotic delicacy, and a young girl's first flight in an airplane was a magically exhilarating experience.
Though the clacking typewriters and the rumbling printing presses of a bygone era have been replaced with quietly humming computers, the thoughtful, deliciously droll stories told here remind us that the things that really count in life are timeless.
