Customer Reviews

Quaint and sweet and cozy

The book made me feel all Christmasy and cozy, and to think I read it in October! It takes place in the 1800's in the mountains of the Adirondacks and tells a little tale of Christianity and love through the voice of a little old trapper. It made me want to be a better person for having read it. I plan on reading it this Christmas Season to my family while we're all cuddled around the fireplace with hot chocolate. You'll feel like it too, I'll bet!

Heart touching!

I have an autographed copy of this wonderful book by the author. I collect his old books and this is one of my favorites. John Norton, the old trapper, is the main character, and what a wonderful character he is.His humor, his wisom, his old cabin & his dogs along with his friends will make you laugh and cry...but that's OK, its Christmas!
