Local Wonders: Seasons in the Bohemian Alps

Local Wonders: Seasons in the Bohemian Alps
by Ted Kooser [917.823 Koo]

Ted Kooser describes "the place he calls home" in Nebraska. He touches on the important and the mundane; there is something for everyone! Several of his thoughts that caught my attention -- remembering flowers from a wedding but not who was married that day (p.4), jars of odd screws and bolts (p.18), his son's tree house which reminded me of my son's basement (p.24), miniature glass animals like the ones my own mother collected and gave to me (p.64), the x-ray machine in the shoe department (p.111). -- recommended by Meredith M. - curator of the Heritage Room of Nebraska Authors
