This is a nature book for nature lovers," according to Roger de Rageot, Dr. Sci. (Sorbonne), He continues, "It concerns a young naturalist growing up in a small 1950's town snuggled up to Georgia's Great Pine Forest. The book remembers the boys, beasts and bullies -- the escapes into the woods to find peace and wisdom. It's about animal behavior observed and the boy's realization that animal behavior and human behavior are intimately related -- indeed the same. It's also beautifully written. God bless the boys and beasts of Fulgham's pine forest.
