ONCE UPON A TIME, before Atheneum in New York took a chance on an unknown author and published "Staggerford" (1977), Jon Hassler wrote a number of short stories that introduce many of the characters in his later novels. Only a handful of these stories had appeared in print (mostly in small literary magazines) until Afton Historical Society Press published the best-selling KEEPSAKES and RUFUS AT THE DOOR.

KEEPSAKES is also available in handbound Collector Editions, limited to fifty signed and numbered copies in slipcases, priced at $175.00.
