Reviews

On Aug 25 2014, a reader said:

Since reading this book, I have also read others by Dr. Sams, and was so happy to have "discovered" him in my local library. Southern writers rarely disappoint----and his Southern sly wit, charm and wonderful storytelling made me wish his output had been even larger. I both laughed out loud and inwardly smiled and nodded in agreement with his subtle comments on the idiosyncrasies of human nature in his world. I wanted to visit that world and know those people in person ----but, since that is impossible----I experienced the next best thing----I felt I had been introduced to them and knew them by the time I had finished the book. A marvelous, satisfying, delicious read.

About Auldfarran Books, IOBA

"I have spent many delightful hours poring over the . . . lists of second-hand booksellers. . . . All these are redolent of romance. They are much more entertaining than half the novels that are written." -W. Somerset Maugham.
