Description:

The Floyd stories depict life in some parts of the rural South as it was only a few years ago, and -- at least in my neck of the woods -- can never be again. Floyd's unique solutions to life's problems inspire 13-year-old Josie to relate the misadventures of her friend as he deals with bureaucrats, "dibbies", a mini-pig -- and more.

Set largely in the mountain region between Tennessee and North Carolina, these 16 stories offer encounters with Charlie the Circus Cat, a one-of-a-kind yard sale, Josie's (and Floyd's) triumph at the Rock Creek graduation, his watch possum, and the April picnic you won't soon forget.

Ex-moonshiner and entrepeneur, Floyd can (as Mawie once put it) "make a cat laugh." Rich in imagery and best read aloud, FLOYD AND THE TRAVELING YARD SALE is a perfect gift for the storytellers and readers in your life.
