The Muskrat Skin Jacket

Following the successful release of his off-beat travel volume, Midnight Bathing in Far East Russia, John W. Robinson's The Muskrat Skin Jacket takes a look at life closer to home. Stories included in The Muskrat Skin Jacket run the gamut, from tales of seeking out penny candy as a five-year-old, raising honey bees as a ten-year-old, digging for old bottles as a teenager, capturing a Timber rattlesnake for a pet as a college student, to heating their cabin with a wood stove as young newlyweds. Through his writing John W. Robinson conveys the simple joy of life, with a playful bent. The tales in The Muskrat skin Jacket will especially appeal to anyone who has yet to grow up, or has only done so kicking and screaming.
