À propos de cet audio
These laugh-out-loud stories from New Hampshire and Vermont are set during the four seasons of the year. The storyteller in his appealing dialect tells little-known tales, among them "Mothah Skunk" and the night she had to move out with her kits because Sherman Curtis smelled so bad; the escapades of Big Gertie Benson, the lumberjacks' cook and a cousin of the Bunyans in the Midwest; and George Petty, who delivered the mail even during mud season by standing on the back of his horse with only his head sticking out. Interspersed throughout are comic-style episodes as an unsuspecting tourist tries to get information from the locals.
A delightful preface about living in New Hampshire for the past 35 years and visiting the North Country since he was a boy explains why Tomie dePaola has perfect pitch for the dialect and a genuine appreciation for these unforgettable characters and their understated humor. Perfect for listening to with the family or in the classroom, these tales are sure to be a hit with Tomie's fans, young and old.
