Pole Baker

American author Will N. Harben introduced his most famous Pole Baker, a rustic philosopher and a wit in this work. Set in Georgia, Pole Baker is an incredibly written story with intriguing characters, a gripping plot, and exciting themes. Excerpt: «THE planter alighted from the dusty-little train under the crumbling brick car-shed at Darley, and, turning his heavy hand-luggage over to the negro porter, he walked across the grass to the steps of the Johnston House. Here he was met by Jim Thornton, the dapper young clerk, who always had a curled mustache and oiled hair smoothed flatly down over his brow.»
