This has been one of my favorites since I found a copy at the Kansas City public library. I tracked down an address for Craddock's widow and wrote to her to express how much her late husband's work meant to me. Just yesterday I received a lovely letter back from Mrs. Craddock. She says she hasn't yet brought herself to learn how to use a computer, but she has many many unpublished writings by her husband that she'd like to share with her husband's readers. I do so wish this novel would go back into print... ( )

Truly a one-of -a-kind book! It captures every nuance of a time that is as if it were a dream. Does anyone know anything about the author or the background of the book?
