What is the author's style in Outer Banks Mysteries and Seaside Stories by Charles Harry Whedbee?

Charles Whedbee's storytelling style is familiar and jocular. He makes it clear, through his affectionate language, that he is intimately familiar with the Outer Banks area, and that he finds comfort and value in these stories. His style is not so much that of a dry historian as that of a friendly old man sharing what he knows, with details and speculations to keep the stories interesting.
