Sinopsis

John Fox's 'Hell Fer Sartain and Other Stories' is a collection of vivid tales set in the rural South, focusing on themes of love, honor, and the complexities of human nature. Fox's writing style is rich in regional dialect and vivid descriptions of the natural landscape, immersing the reader in the world of his characters. The stories are a mix of humor, tragedy, and heartwarming moments, showcasing the range of emotions experienced by the people of the Appalachians. The book is a prime example of Southern literature, capturing the essence of the region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Each story is a snapshot of a bygone era, offering insight into the social and cultural dynamics of the time. John Fox, a native of Kentucky, drew inspiration from his own experiences growing up in the South to write 'Hell Fer Sartain and Other Stories'. His deep connection to the land and its people shines through in his poignant character portrayals and detailed descriptions. Fox's background as a journalist and novelist equipped him with the skills to craft compelling narratives that resonate with readers. I highly recommend 'Hell Fer Sartain and Other Stories' to anyone interested in Southern literature, historical fiction, or character-driven narratives. John Fox's masterful storytelling and insightful commentary make this collection a must-read for those seeking a glimpse into the heart of the Appalachian region.

    “The true sequel to Twain’s masterpiece.” —The Christian Science Monitor   At the start of this exuberant adventure story, Huck Finn’s life is back to normal in St. Petersburg, Missouri: The Widow Douglas expects him to wear clean clothes and eat with a knife and fork, and Jim now gets paid two dollars a week for the same chores he did as a slave. But when tragedy strikes and Huck is framed for the murder of Judge Thatcher, the two old friends have no choice but to finally “light out for the Territory”—and straight into the chaos of the California Gold Rush.   With tenacious lawman Bulldog Barrett in hot pursuit, Huck and Jim zigzag west, encountering a colorful cast of con artists, vixens, outlaws, and Indians along the way. Huck’s dastardly Pap even makes an appearance, rising from a watery grave to menace his son once again. When the adventurers visit a rowdy San Francisco theater, they find their greatest surprise yet: A popular playwright has dramatized their cross-country odyssey with Huck Finn as the dastardly villain and Tom Sawyer as the noble hero.   A picaresque romp through the Old West and a heartfelt tribute to the greatest of American novels, The Further Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is rip-roaring fun from first page to last.

    A family in trade moving up in the world. A family of landed gentry stepping aside for them. And the sons and daughters caught in the middle. 
    Julia Fletcher is the unimportant daughter of the Fletcher family, with neither beauty nor wit nor accomplishments, but always in a scrape. Somehow she never manages to get through the day without breaking or spilling or tearing something. She’s quite the despair of her stepmother. She’s looking forward to their grand new home because it will give her a vast estate to roam over without getting into too much trouble. Or so she hopes. 
    James Plummer is the younger son of an impoverished baronet, forced to sell the imposing family home to the upstart newcomers. James doesn’t mind that; he’s the local clergyman so he’s snug in his rectory, with a curate to do the dreary business of the parish and leave him free to wander about with a gun or a fishing rod. It’s all pretty boring, though; his family, his neighbours, his dull daily round… nothing very exciting happens. Maybe the Fletcher family will liven things up a bit? And outspoken hoyden Julia Fletcher seems just the one to shake things up… maybe a little too much for everyone’s peace of mind. 
    This is a complete story with a happy ever after. A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom. Book 1 of a 6 book series.
