Nub is the quintessential Vermonter. He represents al of the wonderful characters the author has known. Nub's story begins when, as an innocent young farm boy, he tries to gain entry into the girlie show at the fair, and continues through to adulthood. Nub "only held the bag" while his brothers stole chickens, he amused his children by riding around town with the pony in the backseat of the car. Nub told tall tales about his gramps shooting the last catamount, how his pa outfoxed the flatlander, how he let his wife trick him into marriage, how he explained the birds and bees to his son with hilarious results. You will love Nub for his humanity and humor as he tells his own story in his New England twang.
