“What's in a Name?”
In "What's in a Name?", a 1952 Harvey gem, Charles Dennis crafts a quiet, observant story about a family's roots—literally and figuratively—on a plot of land that never bore a single plant, yet nurtured generations. With gentle humor and heartfelt detail, the tale explores how names, identity, and legacy take hold even where nothing else grows. The cover by Frank Beaven captures the story’s warm, nostalgic tone.
