A Literary Playground - Short Stories, the third book in a Tribute
Series to James Ball Naylor, is edited and annotated by Theresa
Marie Flaherty, the author of Naylor's Biography, The Final Test.
Naylor practiced the art of storytelling by exploring different
topics and types of characters as a way to bring his own
experiences to life. He used short stories as a literary playground
where he learned to follow, and to bend, the rules of writing, and
where he discovered his "voice." Written more than one hundred
years ago, the twenty-three short stories in this volume reflect an
era very different from today, yet reveal enduring heartfelt
sentiments. Naylor drew on childhood memories of growing up in
southeastern Ohio, his love for his family, and his profession in
defining his characters and plots. Some of his most charming
stories are written about children. A country doctor in rural Ohio,
Naylor recognized the fascination of the uninitiated in matters of
medicine long before CSI became a staple of prime time TV and
peppered many of his stories with medical details. Born in 1860,
Naylor also wrote several stories relating to the Civil War, where
he lost his father.
