Stories from the Village

Here it is, the complete trilogy! Harold P. Kurtz's Hardly a Silent Night, Ring the Bell and Count the People, and The Missing Library Books (along with four brand new stories, never before published), newly edited and introduced by David Kurtz, author of War and Peace in Dodge and Memoirs of Jesus as told to David Kurtz. Set in the late 1940's-1950's, Stories from the Village is the delightful recounting of small-town life for a pastor's kid and his family. The stories are heartfelt, wonderful pictures of life in America after World War II. Reminiscent of Hartzell Spence to James Thurber to Garrison Keillor, readers will truly enjoy their journey to the Village. The boy can leave the village, but the village never leaves the boy. Kurtz's storytelling invites readers to their own lengthy stay.
