Classic stories. Mostly mid with some great lines scattered about. First couple are vignettes into life in a small Mississippi River town. Then a longer plot develops.
I remember reading these stories as a kid and being somewhat sacred by them. As an adult they are mostly silly. Maybe that’s part of why the book appealed to young readers: Tom’s perspective is dated but his desires remain relevant.
