Homer Price lives two miles out of Centerburg, where Route 56 meets 56A,
but most of his friends and relatives live in town. They include Aunt
Aggy and Uncle Ulysses, the Sheriff and the boys, Miss Terwilliger, Miss
Naomi Enders, great-great-great granddaughter of Ezekiel Enders who
funded Centerburg and who owned the precious formula for making Cough
Syrup and Elixir of Life Compound. While Centerburg is not exactly
nosey, precious little happens that the good citizens do not know.
