About this product

Product Information

According to the author, the twenty-six stories collected in Tales of Quails 'n Suc h are lazy, losse-fingered and rambling accounts of my jaunts afoot. There is not one well organized and plotted tale among them. I suppose I ought to apologize for their formlessness, but that would be apologizing for deficiencies in my own character. A hunting or fishing trip is not by nature a closely planned and scheduled affair. You never know what is going to happen outdoors, for nature is more surprising than a woman. The University of South Carolina Press is proud to republish these stories. The tales were first collected in 1951 and there is a timelessness about them. They are for people who revel in simple things--a bevy of quail scudding over tawny broom sedge; a staunch dog silhouetted against the setting sun; a night's untroubled sleep; the soft swish of a paddle at sunrise; a cooling drink from a sequestered spring at noon-tide.
