Frost, You Say? a Yankee Monologue

by Marshall Dodge

Combining the polish of a turn-of-the-twentieth-century parlor recitation with the rough-and-ready quality of a folk tale, Frost, You Say? is a timeless story told as an old Maine farmer's rambling response to a simple question. Proving that sometimes getting there is a more pleasant experience than arriving, this is wry Maine humor at its very finest.

[Jim Flanagan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't think the humor of this tale has aged well——I didn't find it all that funny at any rate. Maybe it is more enjoyable when spoken aloud. Michael Dodge included it on one of his LPs. What this book does have going for it are Mary Eastman's great photographs. They look quite timeless. If you told me they were taken recently or 100 years ago, I would believe you.
