The key to great story telling is a good ear. All the best storytellers have it: an ability to hear a story where others only hear a narrative. Dennis King has it in spades, and that is what comes through loud and clear in this very personal collection of stories from his hometown of Georgetown, PEI, CANADA. Dennis hears "the story" in every neighbor's voice and in every quirky, funny, and touchingly poignant incident, that illustrates the everyday life of a small town. Their stories are all here...told with a love and respect and an understanding that can only come from having been an intimate part of it all. Dennis' pride of place comes shining through, and in almost every story, the hero is Georgetown. If you love the stories of Stephen Leacock, Garrison Keillor, or Stuart McLean, you'll love the stories of Dennis King.
