Danny talks with Willie Morris about his book, MY DOG SKIP (Vintage Books), a memoir of growing up in Yazoo City, Mississippi in the 1940's. Always by little Willie's side was Skip, an English smooth-haired fox terrier. Skip was a special dog: With a little help from his master, Skip could drive a car or play football - he could even pick up supplies at the grocery store. Willie Morris now lives in Jackson, Mississippi (about 40 miles from Yazoo City). He is the author of two novels, and the memoirs NORTH TOWARD HOME and NEW YORK DAYS.
