Interesting short stories with interesting and divers characters. But i didn't care much for the colloquial language in the conversations. My head began to ache trying to understand them!
Here is an example: "I wants 'im to come in heah an' say: 'Howdy, Aunt Dicey! will you be so kine and go put on yo' noo calker dress an' yo' bonnit w'at you w'ars to meetin', an' stan' 'side f'om dat i'onin'-boa'd w'ilse I gwine take yo' photygraph.' Dat de way fo' a boy to talk w'at had good raisin'."
