A gathering of stories for short-time reading on the bus, subway, train, in the waiting room, bathroom, or anywhere you would read without getting involved in a plot, mystery or lengthy discussion. This little volume contains a little fantasy, a little biography, a little fact-just the kind of things that "dip" readers enjoy. Chuck Northup has dropped into his past eighty-seven years to use past events of his own and friends. He has used dreams and as well as adventures from his own travels or those of his ancestors. Some, however, are pure fiction. You may try to discover which stories are really true. For the more serious minded there's material for contemplation, whether it be fact or fantasy. There can be fun in poetry also. This is reading for all-fables and science fiction to read to young, things for adolescents or young adults to laugh about, and reminiscences for elders.
