About the Book
Among the talents being lost in our technological age is that of the old storyteller, the craft which holds a listener entranced as a fine painting might hold the eyes. Such a master storyteller was Charles Palmer, Charlie to all those who knew him. His stories were true, they were simple, but they were spellbinding. Under the Orioles Nest is his consummate story, his life's story. Written in the mid-twentieth century, it is the story of the Palmer family's escape from the Depression, a frontier story in an unlikely place. Born a boy of nature, as the patriarch of the family he lead them from the hopelessness of a Depression-gripped city back to nature in northern Wisconsin, forging a new life, building a summer resort from raw land in an adventure of struggle, rewards and experiences that sew one chapter into another in a seamless tale of episodic stories.
