About the Author: William Henry Wesley III, my father, is generally a quiet man, so some may think at first he's shy or timid. But don't be fooled by the silence When he chooses to speak, his knowledge, wisdom and quirky sense of humor shine brightly into this world of the mundane. He's one of those people one can tell knows far more than he ever lets on. I grew up listening to my father's tales of his childhood at Eden. In my mind Eden was a place of magic and wonder, almost like a fairytale land. My father was a great storyteller and I loved listening to his same old stories over and over until now I know them all by heart. I am thrilled that he wrote this book; now the whole world can read these stories I know and love. This book is but a fraction of the stories from his past. Here he tried to focus on Eden, but there are many more tales and adventures my father could share from all around the Florida panhandle and beyond. I hope that you, the reader, will enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed sitting in my dad's lap as a little girl, listening with delight to my daddy's yarns of Eden. Melinda Wesley Hinton
