The Principal Chronicles is a collection of funny and poignant short stories that follow the arc of one man's life and career in education. These works of creative non-fiction-or, to be precise, of semi-autobiographical, pseudo-non-fictional memoir-have been refined by many years of telling and re-telling to David Garlick's friends, family and, especially, to fellow educators. Some stories, such as You've Got to Eat a Pound of Dirt Before You Die depict childhood and teenage hijinks. Others, such as Elvis Presley and My Second Teaching Report, deal with Garlick's years in the classroom. Many stories, bearing such salient titles as I Hate High School Swimming Pools and Sometimes-in Fact, Almost Always-They Grow Up, detail his years as a high school vice-principal and principal. Garlick spins lively, engaging tales about the funny situations in which he has so often found himself, from his earliest years all the way to retirement and beyond. By turns candid, poignant, insightful, and surprising, and always gently humorous, these stories invite readers to laugh about humanity's quirks and appreciate the many large and small ways that people show each other kindness every day.
