It began with that sound.

I traveled to Stay More on this book for the first time in 1999. It was a wonderful visit and provided the road map for many more visits over the next year or so. Each visit was very different, but all were enjoyable and I always looked forward to going back.

I am currently riding this book back to Stay More for another visit, and this trip is even more enjoyable than the first. I'm having fun here. It looks exactly as I remember it.

This book will be endearing to any and all who will read it. I will encourage you to pick it up and take the trip. You will not regret it.

Since reading this book years ago in college, I have bought dozens of copies to give to friends, and teach it now myself . It is a wonderful, fun and easy to read story that also plays intricately with the standards of literature, storytelling and relationships.

I've since bought all of his books because he's a good read. I then donated them to my local nursing home.
His mixture of fantasy and fact was most interesting and I enjoyed that he lets even the animals in his books tell their side of the story. Unusual author.

Donald Harington, a protege of William Styron, introduces us to the whacky and wonderful Stay More, Ark. Harington is a masterful storyteller who is just started with this funny, poignant, sometimes bawdy tale of the crazy cast of misfits that live in Stay More. This is not for those who prefer a straight linear story, for Harington is both narrator and character in this story as well.

I found this story to be nonsense and regret spending my reading time with it. I used poor choice in trying to give this. .99 "deal" a chance. I should have deleted it early on. :(
