'It's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, my home town...' Each week, more than four million radio listeners hear these words, and settle in for some old-fashioned, up-to-the-minute storytelling. During live broadcasts of A Prairie Home Companion , Garrison Keillor takes us to 'the little town that time forgot and the decades cant improve,' where 'the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.' These expertly crafted tales touch the heart and tickle the funny bone.Warm, poignant, often hilarious, each is a classic of live storytelling, full of gentle humour, genuine emotion, and (more often than t) surprising insights into family, community, love, faith, and hope.
