Fool's Hill: A Kid's Life in an Oregon Coastal Town

Fool's Hill is an inventive tale of growing up in Port Orford on the southern Oregon coast in the 1930s and '40s. Like Garrison Keillor, Quick makes readers nostalgic for something most of them have never known: a small-town community in which everyone has a role. Quick's offbeat humor and near-magical summoning of childhood sensations will both touch and amuse anyone who was ever a kid.
