Long before he was Grandpa Parlin, he was a small boy in tight green breeches and red shoes, very pleased with himself. These chapters follow his childhood: walking in his sleep, earning ox-money, winning a medal, being tempted to cheat, watching the muster and finally going to sea, each episode told with affection and a quiet lesson.
A charming look at New England boyhood in an earlier age, for readers who love the Prudy books. Download the free EPUB.
