The Best Yet!
I'm 13 years old and my reading teacher, Mrs. Hunley, is reading us essays in the book. The book is hilarious and great. We haven't finished it yet, but I'm looking forward to hearing more of Virginia's stories. Some of the boys in my class are jocks and they don't want anything to do with reading, I'd be surprised if they've ever read a whole book in their lives, but anyways, even they look forward to reading about Virginia. The whole class laughs non-stop through her essays. I would recommend this book to anyone!

A Must Read
I first read Oh Ye Jigs and Juleps as a high school senior, 35 years ago. Every time I can find it, I buy every copy I can get my hands on and give them as gifts. It should be "required reading" for EVERYone... not "just for Christians." Hopefully, it will be printed again soon.

Unforgettable
This gem was serialzed in an Atlanta newspaper about 1960. I immediately bought several copies and managed to keep one. I highly recommend this intreging story about the innocence of childhood. It is loaded with humor & appreciated by grown-up children especially those who enjoyed living in a parsonage.
