Rufus at the Door & Other Stories [Hardcover]

Jon Hassler (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2000

ONCE UPON A TIME, before Atheneum in New York took a chance on an unknown author and published "Staggerford" (1977), Jon Hassler wrote a number of short stories that introduce many of the characters in his later novels. Only a handful of these stories had appeared in print (mostly in small literary magazines) until Afton Historical Society Press published the best-selling RUFUS AT THE DOOR and KEEPSAKES.

RUFUS AT THE DOOR is also available in handbound Collector Editions, limited to fifty signed and numbered copies in slipcases, priced at $175.00.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rufus at the Door, May 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Rufus at the Door & Other Stories (Paperback)

Hassler captures meaningful things in life that we don't always notice and shares them beautifully in this book. The stories can be related to the simplicity of life yet some have unexpected twists making them interesting to read. It's neat how some of the stories tie into one another.
