Tales from an Inkslinger - The Memoir of a Maverick

In 1929, a band of gypsies invaded the North Dakota farm where five-year-old Ione Nettum lived with her family. Though shocking and scary, the encounter left behind something more precious than anything they stole: wanderlust, the desire to move, to travel, and to taste all that life has to offer.

Tales from an Inkslinger: The Memoir of a Maverick, is the story of that life-a life lived both simply and on the road, and a life of romance filled with both grand adventure and simple pleasures.

Looking back on the nine decades of her life, Ione picks and chooses her stories, giving us-her lucky readers-glimpses not only into her life, but into the changes the past century has held.

Even now, with the Internet making the world a smaller and smaller place, her joys and experiences in life as a Wander Vogel (bird of passage), are some most readers can all only dream of matching.
