Amongst the wonderful "News from Lake Wobegon" collections, this stands high as a personal favourite. Apart from the classic "Lving Flag" and "Tomato Butt", "The Tollefson Boy goes to College" and "Mrs Berge and the Schubert Carillon Piano" [with brilliant impersonations of the carillon piano] are strong, mixing acute observation of the humour, tedium and sadness of everyday life with just enough exaggeration to provide comic relief.

We listened as we traveled when our kids were 10 and 8. They laughed as much as we. The stories are built on timeless universal experiences we all share and forget about until we listen to them artfully and tenderly told back to us by someone like Keilor.

We had the set of four on each of the seasons and enjoyed each story every time we played it...over and over and over. Enjoy!

This is a collection of perfect reflective meditations, which always leave you feeling happier no matter how often you listen.

Purchased this CD to listen to while on a road trip from Utah to California. Love all of Garrison Keillor's radio shows! I've got several and they never get old.

Great to listen in the car. We usually purchase a new Lake Wobegon CD each time we have a long trip! Thoroughly enjoy!

I liked the show & listen to it for years now I have the CD
