Book Reviews of The Old Man and the Boy
Book Review: Classic story of a boy's rite of passage to manhood
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the story of Robert Ruark's boyhood days at his gandfather's place in North Carolina. It chronicles the growth of a small boy toward manhood as he learns some of life's important lessons while he learns to handle guns, to fish, to hunt, and to appreciate the beauty of the natural world. His teacher is his grandfather, who becomes his beat friend and mentor. The book gives off an aroma of wood smoke, gun oil, wet dog and pipe tobacco. It has relevance and value in any age, but particularly today, when we have forgotten many of the old truths of America.
I recommend it highly.
