This is what I have to say about the book whick I read many times over the years in a condensed version for Reader's Digest. When my youngest son was 12 yrs old he wanted $20.00 really bad. I told him to read this short story and the money was his. I watch him read, he would laugh, then cry...get angry and then smile warmly. When he finished reading the book, he refused the $20.00 and now at almost 20 years old, he still goes back every now and then...to read it over again...and that is all I have to say about it...except I wish I had another copy!

They made a movie that was supposed to be based on this book...The MOVIE was HORRIBLE and does NOT give justice to this wonderful book....NOT RECOMMENDED to WATCH the MOVIE...read the book for a precious, emotional and joyous ride of your life.
