    About this ebook

    Humorous tales of a small southern town called Bristol. Fables of farmlife and country music. Writing influenced by Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll. Guitars that feud with fiddles. Children who turn into pigs. Church bells that talk. Cornbread that tells the truth. Butter that sings like Hank Williams. Stars that fall to their knees and pray the morning sun will save them. 'We're friends Jack said...I give him the measles. He give the whooping cough.' www.ernestslyman.com

      I WAS curious about getting into a submarine when I had to do it way back in 2005. I was sent to Mauritius to do a travel story for the women’s magazine I was working for at the time and had no idea what to expect. It took about two hours to go down
