The Man Who Stole the Wood Stove
The following true story was a joy to write. Simple and straightforward, it is a reminiscence with my favorite and most beloved characters. I think that Mark Twain and Beatrix Potter would find it acceptable. I know that my children will, it has lived only on my computer until now. It was 1972 when the old man stood in our living room peeling off layers of clothing,. The way one might peel layers from an onion, hat, glove, another glove, overcoat, scarf, sweater, vest - all of its smelling of wood smoke.
