The One-Room Schoolhouse - by Jim Heynen (Paperback)

The One-Room Schoolhouse is a collection of 100 perfectly pitched stories that capture the essence of rural life in America.

With Jim Heynen's masterful storytelling, these tales reveal the adventures of farmboys finding their way in a world where electricity is a magical novelty and cities are a distant rumor.

From contending with grown-ups, city kids, birth, death, bats, rats, skunks, and even mean ponies, to choosing between corncobs and peach tissues, hurling rotten eggs, getting in trouble, helping out, and trying to conceive of the mountains and oceans and forests they've never seen.

These stories are an education in the natural world, as well as an acknowledgment of what is both common and strange in human nature.

Whether true or just funny, sad or even magical, The One-Room Schoolhouse is indelibly American.
