About The Chestnut Point Stories
The Chestnut Point Stories by Jackson Tel
Historical Fiction with a Whimsical Twist
If you like stories that blend humor, historical fiction, and a touch of the mystical, you’ve come to the right place. You will find that and more in The Chestnut Point Stories, written by Jackson Tel.
The author weaves whimsy into serious social undercurrents, creating a mix of narratives full of charm, cleverness, and depth. The stories feature characters like heir apparent Jim Eberton, in 1906 Jim Crow Baltimore, who learns he is part-Negro, and the “Sensational Miss Jones,” a burlesque actress with difficulty reading and writing.
Readers follow the often comic lives of the ‘Patuxent River’ Mann family of Maryland, who first settled along the shores of that lovely river during colonial times. The characters who manage to make it all the way through to the twenty-first century are to be congratulated, as they will be on a twisty-turning-winding roller coaster ride throughout the series.
However, to those characters who stubbornly stick around as themselves, attending to unresolved issues, one can only say, “Get a new life, for God’s sake!”
And ‘Good riddance!’ to those who do something so bad that they get kicked out of the story series completely.
