Eight 1.5 hour cassettes read by Karen White. The reader liltingly accomplishes the impossible with different southern voices for each character.
Miss Julia Springer combines Southern grace, the dignity of a woman "of a certain age," an encyclopedic knowledge of etiquette, and a bitingly sharp tongue. A happy couple was planning a perfunctory courthouse wedding, but Miss Julia has plans of her own for a real honest-to-goodness ceremony, albeit with some shortcuts on the etiquette side. Miss Julia's caustic wit and unstoppable drive mean that the couple is going to get married the right way. This is a gem of a Southern comic novel.
"Good-natured entertainment, done with a sharp eye for the details of small-town southern life." (Kirkus Reviews)
