Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Donald Davis presents a new story that adds to his repertoire of small-town North Carolina tales, which includes LISTENING FOR THE CRACK OF DAWN and PARTY PEOPLE. Embellishing the colorful characters he recalls or creates from his childhood, Davis draws on episodes and events involving family, school buddies and hometown folks. With immense charm and a wry wit, he captures the humor of rural boyhood. He sets the scene with a few well-chosen descriptions and then lets events evolve. Davis gives listeners a joyous sense of anticipation. If STANLEY is your first encounter with Davis, it certainly not be your last. The story delights but also tilts the conventional view of childhood fears and injustices. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

I saw Donald Davis tell this story live and have never forgotten the impact that it had on me. The story finds familiar links to the most private parts of my past that I think many of us secretly share. I highly recommend this one.
