Wonderful Neughdor by Homer Croy
Homer Croy recalls childhood friends and neighbors in northwest Missouri as Newt Kennedy and his family help a wandering, hungry mother and child in a moving van. The tale follows Newt the neighborhood correspondent, his poetic “One-Horse Farmer” persona, and the community’s humorous efforts to fill the news with wolf hunts, shivarees, and town life until a doctor arrives.
