ONCE UPON A TIME, before
Antheneum in New York took a chance on an unknown author and published Staggerford
(1977), Jon Hassler wrote a number of short stories that
introduce many of the characters in his later novels. Only a
handful of these stories had appeared in print (mostly in small literary
magazines) until we published KEEPSAKES, our best-selling
book last year. RUFUS at the DOOR is equally first rate. This
collection of short stories written in the 1960s and 1970s includes:
"Rufus at the Door", "Anniversary", "Winning
Sarah Spooner", "The Life and Death of Delano Klein",
"Dodger's Return", "Agatha McGee and the St. Isidore
Seven", and "Nancy Clancy’s Nephew". Illustrated with
wood engravings by Gaylord Schanilec. Available in both hardcover and
softcover editions.

Sound the
Trumpets! This first collection of short stories by Jon Hassler
deserves royal fanfare! All of these stories are set in Minnesota. Most
are rooted in Jon’s own experiences when he was growing up in Plainview,
Minnesota, and later as a high school English teacher in various Minnesota
high schools and colleges. "I started to write boyhood memories at
random," Jon told us, "and some of them proved pretty
provocative so I developed them into stories." You’ll be glad that
he did! "These seven gentle tales treat fans of novelist Hassler to the
earliest fruits of his talent."
