Official synopsis Publisher
When Samuel W. Taylor wasn’t busy living, he was busy writing, sometimes for Disney (The Absent-Minded Professor), sometimes for his family (The John Taylor Papers), and often for the world about his own people, the Mormons (Nightfall on Nauvoo, Heaven Knows Why). Sam may well be the most successful Mormon author of all time; and over half a century spent spinning yarns, Sam’s best story might be his own. His life story blossoms with rollicking tales of his Utah boyhood, his strong-willed mother, and his adventures as a writer making his way in the world. Taylor-Made Tales is fresh, funny, and like so many of Taylor’s other works, a candid look at peculiar people.
