This nostalgic, humorous memoir is of a Mississippi country boy who was a little rapscallion growing up in a much simpler time. It is one in which a field of sage was a "bed" for dreaming; a spunky little dog was a best, best friend; and three very close buddies were rascals. Imagining and exploring, they lived their lives with their worst fear being a stern word from a disciplinary parent.The self-sufficient young fellow's story draws us back to the less complicated days a time ago, the fifties and sixties.
