Carl Purdon rated a book 5 of 5 stars The Village Wit by Mark Beyer read in December, 2012	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
The Village Wit reads like a classic. Mark Beyer's use of language is gripping and beautiful. It's a long read, but that's okay because I didn't want to put it down.
