Ever wonder what it would be like to sneak onto a ski jump
when no one was looking? Jerry Harju tells you how it's done in Northern
D'Lights . Harju's second book continues his wacky anecdotal
remembrances of growing up in Michigan's U.P., introducing a whole new
cast of wild and wooly characters to tickle your funny bone.
Hard-drinking, hard-fighting lumberjacks were generally men to be
avoided, but one is lured into the local gymnasium to help the home
team win a critical basketball game. In the
early '40's, do-it-yourself funerals were commonplace, and Harju
relates just
such an event. How about impressing your date by taking her out
to
a potato field to headlight deer? Harju also describes his first
encounter
with the game of golf.
"Only an old bugger who spent his boyhood in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan could have written these hilarious tales!" Cully Gage, author of the Northwoods Reader"Northern D'Lights is delightfully written. It's loaded with belly laughs, chuckles, and those memories that bring a smile to the head and heart." Gene Perret, Head Comedy Writer for Bob Hope"Old-fashioned story telling with a Mark Twain flair." Sue Burris, Associate Editor, University of Michigan Alumnus Magazine"A very funny book! Even though I was born in Brooklyn, New York, I can relate to it." Irwin Zucker, President, Book Publicists of Southern California |
