Publisher's Synopsis
In this First Volume of the annals of Southford Village in remote New York, I Archie Horton the Explorer present a brief record of my family's many tame adventures and life experiences. The Southford Historian James Farrell is on my back to make this sound more interesting, so I will have to bring in some lurid details such as my encounter with a monster in Dark Swamp, my adventure with the malevolent trees of the Wild Woods, and....sorry, Historian, that seems to be about all I can do for luridity. What's that? Oh, he says he'll publish it himself and not give me any of the proceeds. Have it your way. It is profusely illustrated in full color, which only ups the price. The Historian has no sense at all.
