Boys of the Old Sea Bed: Tales of Nature and Adventure
Charles Allen McConnell
An ancient sea once covered this ground, and its dry bed becomes the stage for a boyhood of adventure. McConnell's tales run through catching a fawn, watching a great blue heron, surviving a forest fire, and a first deer hunt. Nature and outdoor coming-of-age woven together. A hearty read-aloud for young explorers and the grown-ups who were once one.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
