      2001., Dover Publications Call No: LP Fic Twa    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Dover large print classics.Summary Note: The novel's preeminence derives from its wonderfully imaginative re-creation of boyhood adventures along the mighty Mississippi River, its inspired characterization, the author's remarkable ear for dialogue, and the book's understated development of serious underlying themes: "natural" man versus "civilized" society, the evils of slavery, the innate value and dignity of human beings, the stultifying effects of convention, and other topics. But most of all, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a wonderful story -- filled with high adventure and unforgettable characters (including the great river itself) -- that no one who has read it will ever forget.

      -- Whole town is talking.
      [2016]., Adult, Random House Call No: Fic Fla   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Elmwood Springs, Missouri, is a small town like any other, but something strange is happening at the cemetery. Still Meadows, as it<U+2019>s called, is anything but still. Original, profound, The Whole Town<U+2019>s Talking, a novel in the tradition of Thornton Wilder<U+2019>s Our Town and Flagg<U+2019>s own Can<U+2019>t Wait to Get to Heaven, tells the story of Lordor Nordstrom, his Swedish mail-order bride, Katrina, and their neighbors and descendants as they live, love, die, and carry on in mysterious and surprising ways. Lordor Nordstrom created, in his wisdom, not only a lively town and a prosperous legacy for himself but also a beautiful final resting place for his family, friends, and neighbors yet to come. 'Resting place' turns out to be a bit of a misnomer, however. Odd things begin to happen, and it starts the whole town talking. With her wild imagination, great storytelling, and deep understanding of folly and the human heart, the beloved Fannie Flagg tells an unforgettable story of life, afterlife, and the remarkable goings-on of ordinary people. In The Whole Town<U+2019>s Talking, she reminds us that community is vital, life is a gift, and love never dies."--From publisher.
