About the Author:
J Paul Henderson spent four years in Mississippi, leaving with a doctorate in 20thC US History and more knowledge of Darlington Hoopes than was arguably necessary. (Hoopes was a Pennsylvanian socialist and the last presidential candidate of the American Socialist Party).
Review:
"A wonderful cast of eccentric people in the best tradition of old-time American writers like Capote and Keillor. I was enthralled throughout and recommend it to anyone who wants a feel-good read." —New Books Magazine
"There is heartbreak . . . black humour . . . and some of the charm of The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry." —Daily Mail
