A collection of old-fashioned country wit and wisdom from a beloved Southern humorist.

In this far-ranging collection of aphorisms, adages, and verse, well-known humorist Harry Wayne Addison—acclaimed as the Will Rogers of Ouachita Parish—comments wisely and humorously on a wide variety of topics, from the lessons and joys of a rural upbringing to the heavy-handed whims of big government.

Inspirational, compassionate, homespun, and down-to-earth, Addison's unique philosophy draws abundantly from his faith in mankind, his commitment to his fellow man, and his steadfast belief in a benevolent God. Filled with insight into the problems and pleasures that marked the daily path of twentieth-century life, this volume is a delight for those who treasure age-old values and uncommon common sense.
