Synopsis:
Wittier Than Thou is a
collection of twenty short stories of humor and whimsy inspired by the life and
works of John Greenleaf Whittier. All proceeds benefit the Whittier Birthplace
museum in Haverhill, Massachusetts.John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) is best
recalled either as as a fiery abolitionist or as one of New England’s beloved
Fireside Poets. But along with impassioned anti-slavery verse and the later
songs of faith and rural domesticity, Whittier had a sly and subtle sense of
humor, most evident in poems composed for friends and correspondents. What
better way to celebrate the poet and his work than by exploring the wide range
of wit and mirth that Whittier inspires. Who knows – you may find that he is
wittier than thou!Stories by Jeff Strand, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Ken Faig, Jr.,
