Dean Faulkner Wells offers a unique and personal view into the private world of her uncle, William Faulkner. Her father, William's younger brother Dean, was killed in a plane crash months before Wells was born. As a child, she did not recognize the importance of the man who generously undertook raising her. To his niece, the writer was simply known as "Pappy".
Published just before her death at 75, Dean Faulkner Wells recounts the story of the Faulkners of Mississippi, whose legacy includes pioneers, noble and ignoble war veterans, three never-convicted murderers, the builder of the first railroad in north Mississippi, the founding president of a bank, an FBI agent, four pilots (all brothers), and a Nobel Prize winner, arguably the most important American novelist of the twentieth century.
She also reveals wonderfully entertaining and intimate stories and anecdotes about her family—in particular her uncle William, with whom she shared colorful, sometimes utterly frank, sometimes whimsical, conversations and experiences.
