About this book
Once you find yourself in Oysterback you may never want to leave. Nothing beats Desiree Grinchs corn soup at the Blue Crab Tavern. Theres never a wait at The Curl Up N Dye Salon de Beaute. In season you can buy your produce (as you pay your respects) at Dreedles Funeral Parlor. Theres bingo every Tuesday at the V.F.D. The Mosquito Festival is next week. And when the moon hangs over Widgeon Marsh as full and yellow as one of Miss Netties oyster fritters youll know youre in a place like no other. Since 1988 readers of the Baltimore Sun have delighted in regular visits to Oysterback -- Helen Chappells mythical town on Marylands Eastern Shore. Chappells stories capture the unique charm of rural life on the Shore and her memorable characters typify the folksy strength and eccentricity of the natives. "In Oysterback " as the towns Captain Saloman observes "we have characters we havent even used yet."
