Jim Heynen's stories about unnamed farm boys first appeared many years ago withThe Man Who Kept Cigars in His Cap. Several collections of the boy stories have been published since then and have been models in the short-short or prose poem form now used by many other writers. This is the first collection to focus on the youngest boy, a character who can be a dreamer one minute, a trouble-maker the next, and a problem-solver the next.The youngest boy'scharm is in his unpredictability.
