Shoemaker's Children & Other Stories [Hardcover]

A collection of short stories from George V. Packard. Seventeen short stories written over a fifty year span. Markers in time, like a slideshow of the author's life. We see him transform from an innocent young man in rural Maine ( A Pilgrim Far in Sundry Lands ), to a disillusioned teacher at an exclusive American prep school ( Shoemaker's Children ), to a witty humorist on a little island off the coast of Ireland ( A Rural Tale ).
