Description
David Lang, a seasoned journalist and minor television celebrity, arrives in Shelby to write about the town's oldest living citizen, Daddy Sherry. He is determined to file his story quickly and leave, but Daddy Sherry has other plans.
As David chases his recalcitrant subject around town, he begins to understand the meaning of life and finds love and happiness for the first time. This new edition of The Kite features Mitchell's own reading in a newly discovered audio format.
A cantankerous and cunning elderly man, Daddy Sherry is a force to be reckoned with, as Margaret Laurence noted him to be Mitchell's "best and most complete character".
