Chronicles of a Curate

Reading these books by Fred Secomb is like sitting with a favorite uncle and hearing his stories. He doesn't gloss over the sad and tragic aspects of life but always he finds the joy and beauty as well as humor. I can recommend these books for anyone looking for pleasant reading experience. They are such a relief from the gritty, edgy, nasty stuff that crops up in so many modern books. Instead, they celebrate the true, uplifting art found in the ordinary, everyday lives of plain folk -- people who are just getting by but doing so with such classy style. What a delight these books are!
