Description
Plump Scattergood Baines comes puffing into Coldriver, Massachusetts on foot one summer day and declares his intention to stay. . .and to make the surrounding valley his own. Over the next thirty years, Scattergood's waistline gradually expands, as do his investment holdings and bank account. He can generally be found in a specially reinforced rocking chair on the porch of his hardware store dispensing advice or plotting his next canny deal, always with his shoes off, which he finds allows him to think. These fourteen stories, originally published in the Saturday Evening Post, trace the trials and triumphs of a prime example of that most American of literary characters, the Yankee deal-maker.
