great historical fiction for all ages
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Irving Bachellor's Eben Holden is great historical fiction for all ages. It tells the engaging story of a young boy and his uncle as they struggle to survive,relying on common sense and good old Yankee ingenuity. Bachellor's creation of local color is particularly captivating for those of us who live in the North Country, but good reading for all. Just as those who read Mark Twain need not live in Mississippi to fully experience the greatness of his works, readers of Eben Holden need not live in or be familiar with Pierrepont, New York, and its environs to appreciate the values and suspense of his story. I am purchasing the book for Christmas presents for those relatives aged 10 to 78. It's a great story for all which will elicit good conversation-- a rarity in this day and age. Read it and share it; you'll be glad you did.
