Candle-Lightin Time (Unabridged)

Settle into a warm firelit room with Paul Laurence Dunbar's "Candle-Lightin' Time." In this heartwarming collection of poems, a Southern family gathers each evening as the sun dips below the horizon. Listen as the father, with a twinkle in his eye and a corncob pipe in hand, casts dancing shadows on the wall, transforming them into playful creatures - a mischievous rabbit, a slow and graceful swan. Through rich dialect and vivid imagery, Dunbar paints a portrait of love, togetherness, and the simple magic found in everyday moments. So, pull up a chair, and prepare to be enchanted by "Candle-Lightin' Time."
