Country matters

Here are 35 rolicking misadventures of Sac Prairie's most engaging characters, Gus Elker, Great-aunt Lou and Great-uncle Joe Stoll. Nineteen of these stories have never appeared in any book or anthology. Since this collection was released, 17 additional unpublished stories have been found and will be published in the near future. Chicago Tribune: Derleth is a far more important writer than is generally granted. In him, regional writing has come to something very close to full flower.
