A vivid peek into the heart of America sixty years ago

Set in American in 1944, The Hermit King is a novel about two prankster children in Alabama, captivated by the legend of a mysterious, one-eyed black hermit living in the swamps and carrying a bullwhip as long as five men. Their irresistible curiosity leads them into terrible danger, in this sober story about being forced to grow up all too soon. Now in a new edition revised by the author, accompanied by five short stories, and with a foreword by Bert Hitchcock offering perspective upon how the novel fits into author Cobb's works, The Hermit King is a vivid peek into the heart of America sixty years ago.
