"SEQUIL"
"SEQUIL" - OR THINGS WHITCH AINT FINISHED IN THE FIRST
A lively, rambling diary pulls listeners into the bustling world of a 19th‑century country boy and his rag‑tag circle of friends. Through his candid entries we hear the clatter of farm life, the excitement of impromptu fights with “stewdcats,” and the simple pleasures of music nights in town. The narrator’s voice is raw and humorous, sketching vivid scenes of family meals, mischievous schemes, and the restless energy of youthful rivalry.
The journal captures the rhythm of a close‑knit community where everyone—from the local policeman’s son to the traveling cousins—plays a part in the day‑to‑day drama. As the boy chronicles plans for upcoming brawls, secret trades of slingshots and makeshift footballs, listeners get a taste of the era’s rough‑and‑ready camaraderie. The entry style feels immediate and personal, inviting you to experience the joys and petty conflicts of a bygone rural life, all told with an earnest, unfiltered charm.

Best known for warm, funny stories of small-town New England, this lawyer-judge turned everyday boyhood memories into lively fiction. His "Plupy" tales, especially The Real Diary of a Real Boy, helped keep the mischief, language, and charm of 19th-century Exeter alive for later readers.
