About this listen
On a quiet autumn afternoon in 1944, nine-year-old Morris Bird III decides to visit a friend who lives on the other side of town. So he grabs the handle of his red wagon and, with his little sister in tow, begins an incredible pilgrimage across Cleveland...and out of childhood forever.
Set against the backdrop of one of the worst industrial disasters in American history, Don Robertson's enduring, beloved masterwork is a remarkable story of destiny, bravery, and responsibility - as fresh and relevant as when it first appeared in print.
©1965 Don Robertson (P)1980 Recorded BooksCritic reviews
"The humor and pathos of World War II childhood are vividly brought to life in this absorbing [listening] of Don Robertson's novel. Told at a leisurely pace from the point of view of nine-year-old Morris Bird III, the story savors the atmosphere of small-town life in war-time America. Through adept dialogue the various characters and situations unfold in a natural manner without need of sound effects." ( Booklist)
