Well, now whatever happened to fascinating books like “Pernod”? When I was in sixth grade (maybe 60 plus years ago), our teacher would read a chapter out this book if the class had been particular good. We loved it but I’m not sure if today’s six graders could comprehend the story! In any case, I found myself reading it again and enjoying every page of it. Yes, it had some comments not socially acceptable today but our politically friends of today maybe can’t appreciate otherwise excellent prose! If you want to travel back to what life was like in America in the early 1900s, read this great novel. We owe it to ourselves!
