The Old Man and the Boy

An absorbing memoir about a grandfather and grandson's bond.

This classic captures the endearing relationship between a man and his grandson as they fish and hunt the lakes and woods of North Carolina. Robert Ruark's grandfather was his mentor in the fields and the streams, teaching him not just about hunting but about life. Decades later, Ruark hadn't forgotten the lessons he had learned. Full of naturalistic observations and honest dialogue, this recollection tells timeless stories of boyhood.
