Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fairhope: The Annals of a Country Church
Mr. Edgecomb inserted a generous lump of butter between the crusts of one of Aunt Caro line's delicious biscuits before answering. Then smiling at me from across the table he replied, Better, I fear, than I am in some fine points of theology. Are you a bird man, too?
Scarcely, I confessed. Much as I love the birds, I have only a limited knowledge of the spe cies. The commoner kinds I can identify of course; but there are birds that Visit northern Kentucky every spring whose songs are familiar to me though the singers are not. And, Mr. Edgecomb, there is one bird in particular which I have heard every spring for practically all my life, and yet I am not absolutely certain that I ever laid eyes on him. I have a great curiosity to see him and to learn his name. His haunts are not five minutes' walk from this house. Will you let me take you there after breakfast?
