His books, including this one have personality.He need not follow any script or formula, he is almost a force of nature who sets indelible standards, and makes his own wake.Bravo!. Allan R. The Fish That Ate The Whale is sensational. The book is written with zest and demonstrates Miller's love for education, history and western Kansas.. "Yankee on the Prairie" is the composite of their stories intertwined with American educational history.Howard's young life was less than stellar.
