The Golden Key and Other Short Stories

With just the right flourish of his pen, author James Street takes his readers for a walk in the footsteps of the men and women who populated the small towns and piney woods of his beloved home state, Mississippi. James Street turns his singular experiences into moving and thought provoking universal truths ? seeing beyond tarnished exteriors to the treasures within, the enduring legacy of selflessness, the making of champions, and the capacity of all, no matter what age, no matter how humble, to find and lose love.
Each story is introduced by a note from the author ? gems of thought and background information that further enhance the timeless contents of this collection. These short stories were originally published in such magazines as Saturday Evening Post, Good Housekeeping, and The American Magazine. This collection includes The Biscuit Eater and Weep No More My Lady two of Mr. Street's most famous and well-loved stories.
