And he falls in love with an historian named Alida Freeman, hard at work on a book about a nineteenth-century Norwegian naturopath, an acquaintance of Lincoln, Thoreau, Whitman, and Susan B. Anthony.Garrion Keillor is an author, storyteller, humorist, and host of A Prairie Home Companion and The Writer's Almanac, all of which can be heard on public radio stations around the country. He was born in Anoka, Minnesota, and raised in a Plymouth Brethren home. Keillor is the author of more than a dozen books, including Lake Wobegon Days, The Book of Boys, Love Me, and Homegrown Democrat, as well as numerous magazine essays.
