These stories have the aura of tall tales, and I suspect that everyone who has read the book has his favorite one. Centerburg Tales contains the further adventures of Homer, his friends, and his family. Homer lives outside of Centerburg, a small town in Ohio near the Indiana border, where he and his friend Freddy go to school, he helps out in Uncle Ulysses’s lunchroom, and he listens to Grandpa Hercules’s stories. I read McClosky’s Homer Price a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Centerburg Tales: More Adventures of Homer Price (published in 1951 by The Viking Press, New York City, NY republished in 1977 by Puffin Books, an imprint of Penguin Putnam Inc., a division of the Penguin Group, 375 Hudson St., New York City, NY 10014).
