The Baywood Tales

DR. JAMES KENNEDY has written for educators and for students for many years. His fiction has entertained readers of all ages and his easy voice and clever narratives are captivating. His short stories are set on his beloved Long Island where he has resided for a lifetime. Dr. Kennedy has expressed regret that the island's cultural sensibilities and solid family values have not found expression in literature anthologies for Long Island students. The short stories and one-act play in The Baywood Tales will fill that void. Enjoy.
