Although T. R. Pearson's Neely, North Carolina, doesn't appear on any map of the state, it has already earned a secure place on the literary landscape of the South. In this introduction to Neely, the young narrator, Louis Benfield, recounts the tragic last days of Miss Myra Angelique Pettigrew, a local spinster and former town belle who, after years of total seclusion, returns flamboyantly to public view-with her pet monkey, Mr. Britches. Here is a teeming human comedy inhabited by some of the most eccentric and endearing characters ever encountered in literature.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Short History of a Small Place | T R Pearson | Paperback | 9780142003626 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1671207","offer_id":50789463163138,"sku":"1671207","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71EyRDMrGwL.jpg?v=1792304327","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/short-history-of-a-small-place","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
