4.9/5 (24772 ratings)

Description:A Time In The Country & Other Stories contains 14 masterfully told tales from the mind of Christopher Scott Davis, a lifelong, Midwestern writer from the city of Peoria. The bok fascinatingly examines people & landscapes, which span a time from innocent childhood to the cynicism of adulthood. In "The Farm" the book begins with a provocative & innocent observation of a young boy's fear on a nighttime meadow, as the youthful illusions are about to dissolve into the reality of adolescence & adulthood. "The Afternoon of Roy Butler" addresses the terror that many people harbor about the emotional decline that time brings, & the inevitability of lost dreams as a result of approaching age. The dilamma of holding true to one's dreams, or "selling out" to the practical world for a safe survival, mark the compelling lessons in "A Small Party of Friends," "My Kingdom for a Lady" & "Night Glass." Accenting the collection are "Niece at a Redwood Table," "The Art of Rome" & "A Time in the Country" which demonstrate that each of us have a responsibility to discover grace in life. When Christopher Scott Davis died on 3/12/08 from a massive heart attack, in his Peoria home, he left behind dozens of unpublished literary gems. The short stories, poems, essays & two novels, unpublished for almost 30 years, & found in a couple of boxes in his bedroom closet, introduce the world to a remarkable talent of amazing clarity, depth & power.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
