Summary
For 46 years, author Charles Hillinger journeyed around the world writing human-interest stories for the Los Angeles Times. He also helped to create and produce special features for the popular NBC television show Real People.

From these experiences comes California Characters, a collection of stories about intriguing, eccentric, or simply amazing individuals. Many of these people have strange occupations; live solitary lives in remote locations; or collect, build, or design an assortment of odd things. Characters like "Down the Road Dugan", "Sweetwater Clyde", "Dr. Tinkerpaw", "Spaceship Ruthie", and "Warmly Ormly" will delight, amuse, and perhaps inspire the listener with their tales and the reasons why they've chosen to live the lives they do.
