Overview of Stories

The collected version of Essex County includes five separate stories that are all connected through the relationships that the different characters share with one another. The stories include Tales From The Farm, Ghost Stories, The Country Nurse, The Essex County Boxing Club, and Eddie Elephant-Ears.

Tales From The Farm is told from the point-of-view of a young boy named Lester who recently lost his mother to cancer and, has since, moved in with his uncle who is a farmer in Essex County. Lester, much to the dismay of his uncle, seems to have a very active imagination that compels him to constantly dress like a superhero and fantasize about saving the world from a secret alien invasion. Though his relationship with his uncle is distant at best, Lester becomes friends with one-time Toronto Maple Leaf Jimmy Lebeuf who now operates a gas station after a crushing body-check ended his hockey career.
