Nothing with Strings: NPR's Beloved Holiday Stories

For more than a decade Bailey White has delivered a story each Thanksgiving to National Public Radios All Things Considered listeners. Long awaited by her many fans Nothing with Strings is the entire collection of these Thanksgiving stories published together for the first time. With wit and charm Bailey White writes about an almost-gone little town where a spoon player is a guardian angel an old woman fears that John James Audubon is living in her attic and a homely governess wins a baby bull in a raffle and loses her heart. Its the kind of place where Heavenly Blue morning glories grow in through the windows of old houses and funeral food is shared on a Greyhound bus on a fall afternoon. You may not have ever been there but you will feel right at home in these pages. Bailey Whites beautifully written stories teetering on the edge of the unreal are sure to bring back memories you dont really have.
