In Limestone, Indiana, a city tucked away among forested hills,
peculiar things happen, often in the vicinity of a
jack-of-all-trades named Gordon Mills. Centaurs and nymphs shelter
in a local cave, alligators lurk in the sewers, warm snow falls on
the Fourth of July, cornstalks rise higher than chimneys, and the
northern lights shine down on the municipal dump. Gordon takes such
events in stride and deals with them as part of his work on the
city maintenance crew. He earns just enough to support a boisterous
family, which includes his formidable wife Mabel, their four
children, Mabel's parents, and his widowed mother—nine souls
packed into an old house that falls apart as fast as Gordon can fix
it. Part folktale, part tall tale, part comic romance, Small
Marvels revels in the wonders of everyday life. So, welcome to
Limestone, Indiana. You won't find it on a map, but you may
remember visiting the place in dreams, the rare, blissful ones in
which puzzles are solved, kids flourish, hard work pays off, and
love endures.
