Born and bred in Maine, John Gould (1908-2003) was well known for his acerbic Yankee wit. Over his life he wrote dozens of books and for an astounding sixty-two years was a regular columnist for the Christian Science Monitor. Despite his literary fame, he would always claim that he was, first, last, and always, a farmer.
Real humor with wit added . . . A book for laughter, an aid to digestion, and a dispeller of black clouds. And a bestseller, I do believe.
