A collection of sidesplitting humor about the great outdoors from the author of A Fine and Pleasant Misery.
 
In The Horse in My Garage and Other Stories, humorist Patrick F. McManus€s best and funniest anecdotes on flora, fauna, and getting on Mother Nature€s last nerve are proudly on display.
 
Read about the antics of Patrick€s friends Rancid Crabtree and Retch Sweeney in such stories as €œShaping Up for the Hunt€ and €œBear Hunters.€ McManus plays off the recent obsession with hoarders in his surprising story €œThe Lady Who Kept Things.€ And in the title story, you€ll meet Patrick€s horse, Huckleberry, and learn of all the problems that come along with owning your own horse€"and keeping him in the garage.
 
Other stories include:

• €œCatch-and-Eaters,€ about the importance of a forked stick when fishing.
• €œ$7000 TV Historical Extravaganza,€ a look at one director€s loose interpretation of historical accuracy and political correctness.
• €œA Lake Too Far,€ concerning the woes of Patrick and his wife, Bun, on a fateful birding trip in Australia.
• €œChicken Chronicles,€ which involves Patrick€s memory of wandering around naked in the chicken yard when guests came to call. (Don€t ask!)

 
So pull up a chair, sit back, and enjoy the adventures of Patrick F. McManus as only he can tell them.
