Comprised of an entertaining series of vignettes that occur at the Pelican Pub in Downish, England, "Poet's Pub" is a humor-filled collection of stories by award winner Eric Linklater. When an Oxford poet named Saturday Keith assumes control of the Pelican Pub, what he desires most is the peace and freedom to craft his poems without being disturbed. This is the least of what happens, for the local watering hole soon becomes an out-and-out attraction for various eccentric characters ranging from uncouth rogues to members of academia. Item #213411
