Description

R. B. Williams tells the stories of the men, women, and children he grew up with on the plantation. The wonderful stories tell of a simpler time, of fishing and hunting, of kids spending hot summer days swimming in the creek and shooting bottles for fun. The plantation he writes of is located near Monroeville, Alabama, home of Harper Lee and Truman Capote. As in To Kill a Mockingbird, race is present in Dickie Williams's stories. Yet here the relationships are warmly remembered and it is interesting to see the way black and white Southerners lived, worked, and played together. Williams is a good story-teller and his accounts of extended families, rural isolation, and traditions now mostly forgotten are a good reminder to older readers and a history lesson to younger ones.
