This collection of tales and drawings from the Author's childhood and early teen years, was written while attending public and private schools in West Virginia and Maryland. Many drawings were drawn with the stories, and have been digitally re-mastered here. Some of the "mistakes" in spelling or grammar were intentionally left in, especially if they added to the ambiance of the story. Also teacher comments are sometimes included. Don't worry if there's mistakes, they're supposed to be in here. Remember, kids are people too This book combines the two books SFFA and TAMS into one, more like the original 'Purple Binder' that contained all of the short stories.
