This book was written in 1951 and I was given it when I was eight years old. It is a hardback volume, autographed by Fred Seale himself, and includes the newspaper article when the book came out and he is surrounded by newspaper boys in this photo in the newspaper. I was so excited to receive it. I’m now 72 and I still own the book and I have read it many ,many times. If you’ve never read it, it’s a quick read, and it certainly worth it!
