Book Reviews of Charles Kuralt's Summer Cassette

Book Review: For fans of Kuralt, this will be a treat!
Summary: 4 Stars

I hadn't thought about Charles Kuralt for years - until I ran into his book on tape entitled 'Summer.' Kuralt pulls summer-based items from his reports from CBS News and reminds us (this listener anyway) that we've missed his folksy approach on the reporting on everyday life in America since his passing a few years ago.

Kuralt lays it on a bit thick from time to time but he avoids being too schmaltzy as he reports to us about Maypole dances in Minnesota and tubin' down the Apple River in Wisconsin. The best reports are on side two, where he focuses on the Fourth of July. He travels to Gettysburg and Independence Hall, New York City and Brazil and takes us along for an emotional ride.

Although he takes a lot of his footage from his television reports, only once or twice did this listener feel that he was missing something by not actually seeing the pictures.

Summary of Charles Kuralt's Summer Cassette

After almost four decades of life on the road, Charles Kuralt has visited every corner of the country, sharing with us his fascinating encounters with the people he's met along the way. Now in Charles Kuralt's Summer, he douses the heat with breezy tales of our most extraordinary summer celebrations.

Drawing on pieces from his years at CBS News as well as new never-before-recorded material, Kuralt recalls some of his favorite summertime adventures. From Memorial Day in Gettysburg and tubing down a Wisconsin river to stone skipping in Mackinac Island and Fourth of July rituals around America, Kuralt captures all of the joyous sounds of the season.

A listening treasure from one of our most beloved chroniclers, Charles Kuralt's Summer is like a cold glass of lemonade on a lazy, hazy summer afternoon.
