Product Description
A collection of humorous short stories originally published in The Saturday Evening Post, Alexander Botts and his Earthworm Tractor will charm readers young and old and entertain with innocent mayhem, timeless humor, and twists of fate. Botts Begins is the 2021 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award Gold winner for Humor! Welcome to the world of Alexander Botts and Earthworm Tractors, a series of stories about a bumbling salesman's trial and tribulations selling crawler tractors. His unusual sales tactics send the machines through impervious swamps, murky lakes, and high snowbanks. His schemes consistently backfire but, in the end, he never fails to close the deal! In this book, Botts talks his way into a job selling Earthworm Tractors for The Farmers' Friend Tractor Company. Alexander Botts was created in 1927 by author William Hazlett Upson, and these stories are based on Upson's brief career as a mechanic for the Caterpillar Tractor Company. For almost half a century, Botts was beloved by The Saturday Evening Post readers in more than 100 short stories. This is the first book in a series that will present the collection in its entirety for the first time and includes five Botts stories that never appeared in The Saturday Evening Post.
