Graham,

Garrison Keillor is an American writer who became popular with his
monologues on
National Public Radio (the BBC affiliate in the U.S. ;-)) during the
1970s and
80s, describing life in a mythical town in Minnesota, Lake Wobegon,
where "all
the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children
are
above average." The show was called "A Prairie Home Companion" and I
enjoyed
listening to him very much. His stories evoke the feeling of a
semi-idyllic,
small town in the Midwest very well. There are several books, one I have
is
"Leaving Home: A Collection of Lake Wobegon Stories", Viking Penguin
1987. Other
collections include "Lake Wobegon Days" and "Happy to Be Here" plus
others that
I may not know about.
