Me and Burnice is a collection of true stories that applauds growing up and everyday events in the 1940s. Abounding in humor, it uses laugh-aloud narrative to touch on the gentleness and richness of mankind. Told in a way the reader can be there and say, "That happened to me just like that" or "I identified with it all the way it was so easy to read." It chronicles the adventures of two boys, how they grow and entertain themselves, and expand the limits of their imaginations. Although it was a simpler life they always went for the gusto.
