Bill Brett has a fine ear for the ways of speech and a sharp eye for the way of life of the forests and swamps of the southeastern region of Texas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSome might say that the tone of many of these tales is more autobiographical than that of his earlier collection, \u003ci\u003eThere Ain't No Such Animal, \u003c\/i\u003e and perhaps that's true, for in these stories he shows a keen understanding of what it was like for a boy growing up in the early decades of the twentieth century, passing into manhood, and accepting the responsibility that comes with maturity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut there are also stories here about such topics as the strains of married life, the hazards of an obsession for deer hunting, the drawbacks to being part of a family, and the foibles of politicians. In other words, Bill Brett writes with natural humor and perceptive wisdom about the way folks live through all their years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese stories will appeal to anyone who likes a well-told yarn about boys, dogs, horses, farmers, preachers, and the country life that was common to us all just a few generations ago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Brett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1585440744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781585440740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/1983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.09h x 6.08w x 0.32d","brand":"Bill Brett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939801530623,"sku":"9781585440740","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d13f5937-beb0-46ca-b06b-20f85de70fb4.jpg?v=1681443567","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/this-heres-a-goodun-bill-brett-9781585440740","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
