RIDGE WILLOUGHBY

by Cena Christopher Draper ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

A story full of adventure and the adventure of Nature built around a Missouri boy and his very large family who lived on a farm in the Ridge Land. Young Ridge- named to because of his instinctive friendship with the poorer farmers who lived on the other side of the hill- always seemed to be on the wrong end of the family squabbles, ever ""out-of-order"", ""come-to-nothing""- or ""miss-the-mark"". But his love for the woods and animals and the continual stream of human happenings made his life very exciting. There is easy humor in the pranks of Ridge and his Sir Skunkerroo, ""Pew"", and the indignities suffered at the hands of five small sisters. There's a thrill when treasure is discovered in the roots of a favorite tree. Mrs. Draper writes gracefully of the softly beautiful Missouri countryside and the lives of its people and is known for her previous work in playwriting.
