RUNAWAY JOHN

By

Pub Date: Oct. 21st, 1963
Publisher: Knopf

A restless boy mopes on his back steps until he decides to run away. Gathering possessions, calling a friend for company, inviting mother to go along to read stories,-- the whole grand production unfolds in the spontaneous illustrations. The oped-for jaunts of a would-be hobo who ends up being a homebody form a brief book with fresh perspective on an old event.
