Enjoyable, engaging, compelling. The stories are as relevant now as they were in the middle of the 20th century when they actually happened.?The?escapades of two boys who lived on a coastal South Carolina barony are sensitive and warm with affection for their families and the nature that surrounds them. In this close friendship of two boys a cozy lamp shines a remarkable light on the way seacoast boys found entertainment, provided a staple for the dinner table, and learned an important lesson from a noted American General. The boys adventures are based on real-life events borrowed from the WPA narratives.
