About this book

Robert Ruark's childhood on the coast of North Carolina is often depicted as a Huck Finn-like idyll of hunting and fishing with his grandfather, reading the classics in the shade of a magnolia tree, and dragging a hand-cut Christmas tree home to a house redolent with the aromas of home-cooking and a crackling fire.
