Gospel Birds is a collection of nine classic and very funny monologues from the early years of A Prairie Home Companion. In addition to the title story (about Irma and Ernie Lundeen's traveling flock of acrobatic, bible-reciting birds), contents include:

  • Pastor Ingquist's Trip to Orlando
  • Mammoth Concert Tickets
  •  Bruno, the Fishing Dog
  • Gospel Birds
  • Meeting Donny Hart at the Bus Stop
  • A Day at the Circus with Mazumbo
  • The Tollerud's Korean Baby
  • Sylvester Krueger's Desk
  • Babe Ruth visits Lake Wobegon

    Gospel Birds is Garrison Keillor at his very best—endearing insights, gentle humor and warm affection for the human foibles we all share.
  • Garrison Keillor, born in Anoka, Minnesota, in 1942, is an essayist, columnist, blogger, and writer of sonnets, songs, and limericks, whose novel Pontoon the New York Times said was "a tough-minded book . . . full of wistfulness and futility yet somehow spangled with hope"-no easy matter, especially the spangling. Keillor wrote and hosted the radio show A Prairie Home Companion for forty years, all thanks to kind aunts and good teachers and a very high threshold of boredom. In his retirement, he's written a memoir and a novel. He and his wife, Jenny Lind Nilsson, live in Minneapolis and New York.
