Query: Magnificent work in the old tradition of oral story telling.

Twenty Years A-Growing is a delightful collection of stories put together to form a novel. It is not great action or plot that draws one to this book. It is the shear joy of the art of the story teller. This book is a fine example of the ancient tradition of story telling. When a "wanderer" visits the author's house, his grandfather says, "he who travels has tales to tell." The stranger is invited to pull up a chair to the fire and help "shorten the night" with his tales. Good stories do not require a TV or a radio, or for that matter, even a book. Good stories only require a good story teller and a good audience. Twenty Years A-Growing is good story telling
