Customer comments on this selection.
 A Master Storyteller....
Garrison Keillor tells engaging stories that are both humorous and heartfelt. He gently pokes fun at the culture of the midwest and his stories can make you laugh until you cry and sometimes they tug at your heart.
 Highbrow Entertainment
Keillor's voice and delivery, as well as his language, make his "News From Lake Wobegon" segments enjoyable as sheer entertainment and enjoyable as literature. Keillor's monologues are part sermon, part comedy, and are always a fun way to pass the time. In the end, all of the stories are about human nature, and give good insight into human nature. For this reason, Keillor has to be taken seriously as having created a unique brand of literature.
I highly recommend this collection.
 CD sent - I wanted a book
After seeking out a book by Garrison Keillor a CD was sent out. All of this comes down to confusion on your Keillor page - is it a book or a CD?
Wide Appeal
Garrison Keillor writes poignant and often funny stories about small-town, Midwestern life. His works have often been compared to those of Mark Twain, and I can give no greater praise than that, except to say that you need not be a Christian to enjoy his stories about Christmas (I'm not), you need not be a Minnesotan to enjoy his revelations about life in Minnesota (I've never even been there), and you need not be from a small town to relate to the eccentric characters of Lake Wobegone (I'm as urban as they come). So come and visit Lake Wobegon, it's an enchanting, old-fashioned, liberal-making, and distinctly American faeryland where the women are strong, the men are good looking, and the children are always above average.
Classic Keillor
I have the cassette collection of all four seasons of News from Lake Wobegon, and have worn them out. Time to buy the CDs! Winter is my favorite. It warms your heart and makes you laugh.
