He grew up knowing the woods; the way a church supper smells; the way the Ladies Aid bargained together before a food sale. The friendly, close-knit community life and the deep family affection gave him a foundation of sound sense to last through the years ahead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book to read and reread. You will be glad to know that once, in Maine, a boy could have this kind of childhood; and you might be envious because you did not.","brand":"Down East Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47308179898623,"sku":"9781608935406","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_3a9181d6-2f2c-42b7-aa6a-b6e434c476d7.jpg?v=1766426920","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781608935406","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
