| Publisher Description: "Laugh and the world laughs with you." Well, sometimes. But you will laugh with the author as she recounts hilarious situations, mostly of her own but of others' making as well. Few of us have ever travelled cross-country with two dogs, a cat and a raccoon or lost a U-Haul trailer smack in the middle of railroad tracks, but many have fished with the same results that Ms. Brannon had over the years or camped in the rarified (and frigid) "higher elevations" of mountainous terrain in midsummer. Among those who have expressed heartfelt empathy with the author's "learning experiences" is famed humorist Patrick McManus (A Fine and Pleasant Misery and They Shoot Canoes, Don't They?), who characterized her as a "fine writer and a very funny one." And that's from a man well qualified to know whereof he speaks The addition of Views From Over the Hill (On Just About Everything) is a bonus guaranteed to split a few sides, set selected politicians' and pundits' teeth on edge and enter many children's repertoire of didactic verse aimed at mending their ways. It's unusual these days to find so much for so many to mull over couched in succinct quatrains on a par with Ogden Nash's and Dorothy Parker's, but here they are. Enjoy |
