Book Description
Horse people tend to be unusual, ranging from strikingly lovable to shockingly irritating. Each one has a story—or several—to tell, both happy and sad. Horse Scents presents a collection of thirteen intertwined stories that explore a year in the lives of boarders at one dusty old stable in suburban Atlanta. The tales within reveal a microcosm of humanity within the tiny but varied world of the stable, among the horses. They depict happiness and heartbreak, laughter and tears, romance and intolerance. As the characters—some that might appear to have familiar aspects—make their way through the year, their hopes, fears, secrets, dreams, plans, disasters, and nightmares all come out in ways that they could never have imagined. With horse scents, horse sense, and nonsense in abundance, this collection of short stories follows an interconnected set of people over the course of a year, through triumph and tragedy.

Book Description
"This is an absolutely delightful book.... Hubbard is considered to be a regional humorist, but like all really good humorists, he speaks to everyone." --Humor: International Journal of Humor Research "Now an' then an innocent man is sent t' th' legislature." "When a feller says, 'It hain't th' money, but th' principle o' th' thing, it's the money." During the early years of this century, the fictional Abe Martin became one of the most popular cracker-barrel philosophers this country has ever known. First created for the Indianapolis News by Kin Hubbard, the humorous and sometimes painful lines of Abe and his neighbors in the Bloom Center Weekly Sliphorn captured the imagination of Americans everywhere. This collection gathers together the very best sayings, humorous essays, cartoons, drawings, and a representative sample of Abe's "almanack."
