Here is one of the finest and funniest collections of Downeast humor ever. Maine's premier storyteller, Kendall Morse, blends the best of old favorites with many new tales for one of your most enjoyable reading experiences in years. One of Maine's master storytellers, author, singer, humorist and television host, Kendall Morse brings together old favorites and many new tales in this narrative of a typical year in the Northeast-including seven basic seasons; a cross-section of colorful characters like Wallace Mallet who built a coffin with a rudder and centerboard, the better to sail into the Great Unknown; and outlandish critters like the retriever that couldn't swim and the trout that drowned. Uproariously illustrated by Tim Sample, Stories Told in the Kitchen has something for everyone: wit, humor, and the kind of understated incredibility that is as Downeast as clam chowder and blueberry pie, and is almost as sustaining. One of the funniest and finest collections of Downeast humor ever!
