Hometown Tales, Volume I

After retiring from a career as a small town businessman in Oklahoma, the late Mack Stanley spent almost twenty years writing a newspaper column titled Hometown Tales. Every week Mack delighted readers with his collection of humorous, heart-felt short stories accounting his memories of small town life in Midwestern America during the first half of the 20th century. In Volume I Mack tells humorous stories of his friends and family from his youth, including some of his favorite Holiday Tales. Then in Volume II Mack updates us on where they are now. Augmenting the stories for the books is Mack’s long-time colleague, and career small town newspaper journalist John Clark. Together, Stanley & Clark have delivered a compilation of stories that take readers on an entertaining, nostalgic journey back to days past.
