Billy, Old Dan and Little Ann -- a Boy and His Two Dogs...
A loving threesome, they ranged the dark hills and river bottoms of Cherokee country. Old Dan had the brawn, Little Ann had the brains -- and Billy had the will to train them to be the finest hunting team in the valley. Glory and victory were coming to them, but sadness waited too. And close by was the strange and wonderful power that's only found...
An exciting tale of love and adventure you'll never forget.
From the Paperback edition.
BEST BOOK EVER!!!
| Customer Rating: | I have been an avid reader for most of my 59 years, but I STILL say
that this is my FAVORITE book of ALL TIME...no matter what genre...
It matters not that it is "recommended" for 9-12 year olds, if YOU
have not discovered this wonderful story, then you must! So many of
us can identify with Billy, the young boy, reared during a time
of great poverty, and his love and devotion to his two pups and the
adventures and lessons they brought into his life. Believe me,
this is NOT just for children, and if you have any time to reminisce,
get this book and read it...absorb it, enjoy it...A true walk down
Memory Lane. Relish the good things while you can, and THIS ONE
is a "Good Thing!" |
Boy and his dogs
| Customer Rating:  | I used to read this book over and over again as a child and it's sad that I went for so many years without touching it! Upon rereading I was swept away to the backwoods South in a boyhood adventure of hunting, childhood, and friendship.
On the surface it appears to be the usual boy-and-dog story, but it is so much more gripping as it explores Billy's relationship with the world around him as he grows up in a classic coming-of-age scenario.
It's fun, gripping writing full of personality and passion for the South and its characters, and full of such honest emotion it will blow you away. |
Exactly what I was looking for
| Customer Rating: | | This was my favorite book as a child and I was very happy to purchase it to read for myself and also for my children. |
Wonderful story for adults and children of all ages
| Customer Rating: | I have just finished this book.
Wilson Rawls has written a timeless classic that will entertain and delight readers of all ages. I wish I had read this story earlier.
Wilson Rawls could have been the second coming of Homer.
The religious theme was quite interesting.

An Ozark Requiem - Where the Red Fern Grows
| Customer Rating: | Being an avid reader my whole life, I don't know how I skipped over this book as a kid. Recently I decided to brush up on some classic literature, and I grabbed this off my bookshelf...wow. This has to be one of the most AMAZING American tales of all time...and it's definitely in my top five books ever.
Warning: it has a little flavor of Bridge to Terebithia in it because of it's terribly bittersweet ending...but it is well worth it.
The writing style is so easy to read and so engrossing, it's like the author is actually sitting across from you telling you the story.
This is a slice of Americana that all kids should read...it captures the Ozarks and the heart of a little boy who loves his dogs so well! The fact that the main character had to work so hard for what he wanted is such a wonderful message to kids today.
Where the Red Fern Grows is a little piece of the American dream, and it is a must read for everyone. No questions asked. |
