FOOLS AND CHILDREN
Edward T. Frye
● FOOLS AND CHILDREN ●
Who Else Wants a Copy of the Most Entertaining and Engaging Book of the Year!
Fools and Children dramatizes the joys and challenges of two lads who somehow survive the last era of youthful freedom and innocence. Poignant tales of their exploits, some dangerous indeed, involve guns, horses, caves, and fields. This “constructed autobiography” recreates real events with only small elements, names, and dialog changes. Readers will wish they were there.
Bill Keane, Editor, Perspectives magazine
Author extraordinaire Edward T. Frye pens this uproarious (sometime serious) journey of life through the 50's with his best friend Herb Bierly and wonder dog Queeny.
Ed and Herb are two small town boys hell-bent on action and adventure.
Fools and Children is an uplifting and touching collection of memorable childhood escapades as it chronicles the outlandish and often dangerous exploits of these creative but naïve lads.
Filled with leisurely-told tales, colorful characters, cultural references to the Golden ‘50s, and humor, Fools and Children takes Baby Boomers back to their own youthful years.
With the freedoms available to these young adventurers in a simpler time and place, their zeal for life is reflective of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
Caves, creeks, hills, and farms are scenes of perilous undertakings. Millheim provides their earliest up close and personal experiences with death, as well as poignant lessons for life.
Along the way, they experiment with guns, horses, the sins of the world, and girls.
Frye and Bierly skip none of the rites of passage, but almost always with a twist. Both learn early that the difference between hero and victim is often too close to call.
Some famous and infamous tales and characters from our valley – brought to life beautifully
