INTRODUCTION
A Matter of Observation
Each spring, with the first steady turn of the season, the people of Carroway gather in the central meadows to conduct what has become known simply as the Oyster Races.
It is not claimed that the oysters compete.
Only that, under proper conditions, they do not remain still.
