stitches runner27 I treat myself on occasion, and others when I am in the moodwith Mr Keillor's hilarious stories from his wonderful imaginary 'home town' of Lake Wobegon. The nostalgic tales are told in such a way as to draw one into the town, its people and its past and present. For anyone with a sense of humor I would highly recommend listening to this box set, find out why all the women are strong, men are goo. Lake Wobegon is always wonderful I love Garrison Keillor and bought this product because I like to listen to the radio in the car. Sadly, I don't find music stations I like so bought these to listen to. I've enjoyed them greatly.. "Love his shows and got to see him in person" according to Elaine Riggs. I try to listen to Garrison every Sunday on NPR. Love his shows and got to see him in person a few years ago. It's much better having my own CDs so I can listen anytime.
Keillor gently coaxes his stories through fertile territory, meandering into a childhood memory and then veering back to a central theme. With its welcoming atmosphere and the stories' warmly familiar opening and closing lines, this cozy collection reminds listeners that life in Lake Wobegon still goes on, even in these troubled times.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
