Harriet Beecher Stowe 
Sam Lawson’s Oldtown Fireside Stories 

There is a village ne’er-do-well in every small town. This one is the kind-hearted and unreliable Sam Lawson, who was such a fine storyteller it made him popular enough to have this book named after him.Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of ‚Uncle Tom’s Cabin‘, turned her husband’s (and her own) memories of growing up in New England into tales of eccentric relations and wonderful small-town characters leading to this interesting collection of short stories that needed to be told.Included inside ‚Sam Lawson’s Oldtown Fireside Stories‘, are many literacy treasures such as; ‚The Ghost in the Mill‘, ‚The Widow’s Bandbox‘, ‚The Bull Fight‘ and ‚How to fight the Devil‘. I am sure after reading these you will not be able to decide on a favourite as they are all extremely entertaining.-
